Exceptional. In short, May’s Britain is a place I want to live in.

Lightweight humorous read which is actually a compilation of his weekly columns about cars and also a variety of other subjects. I've always enjoyed his sense of humour and found him easy to relate to whether in Top Gear/ Grand Tour, his numerous TV presentation jobs or in print.
Not to be confused with "War and Peace" but a nice departure from my usual subject matter which tends to be on the grim side.

Extremely funny and loads of fun to read through the mind of an avid car enthusiast.
