Reviews

[David · Rating 1 out of 5]

Really a horrible book. Most information is repeated. A lot of it is irrelevant. The book talks about the history of Jaguar (at least twice it seems). I realize Jaguar is a subsidiary of Tata-but it fails to mention how Jaguar's history has an influence on the Nano.

The information isn't in any particular order. It feels like the book was rushed into production without any regard for grammar, sequence, syntax, etc.

It is a shame-The car seems like an engineering marvel, and Ratan Tata seems like he truly cares about his fellow Indians. (that I did learn)
