About the author

James May is a British television presenter and award-winning journalist.

May is best known as co-presenter of the motoring programme Top Gear alongside Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond. He also writes a weekly column for The Daily Telegraph's motoring section. On Top Gear, his nickname is "Captain Slow", owing to his 'careful' driving style. He has, however, carried out some exceptionally high-speed driving (including taking a Bugatti Veyron to its top speed).

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

I enjoyed it, May can write.

[Gord · Rating 3 out of 5]

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.
