Product Details

Product Description

Product Description

In September 2006, Richard Hammond suffered a serious brain injury following a high-speed car crash. Here is his compelling account of life before and after the accident and an honest description of his recovery, full of drama and incident. An adrenalin junkie long before his association with Top Gear, Richard tells the story of his life, from the small boy showing off with ridiculous stunts on his bicycle to the adolescent with a near-obsessive attraction to speed and the smell of petrol. After a series of jobs in local radio, he graduated to television. His insights into the personalities, the camaraderie, and the stunts for which Top Gear has become famous, make compulsive reading. It was while filming that Richard was involved in a high speed crash, driving a jet-powered dragster. His wife Mindy tells the story of the anxious hours and days of watching and waiting until he finally emerged from his coma. In an extraordinarily powerful piece of writing, she and Richard then piece together the stages of his recovery as his shattered mind slowly reformed. The final chapter recounts his return home and his triumphant reappearance in front of the cameras.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unstoppable!, Nov 13 2007
By H. Clinton (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: On the Edge: My Story (Hardcover)
This is a very moving and inspiring book that shows the deep love that Richard and his wife Mindy have for each other and their daughters. I enjoyed Richard Hammond's quick wit and humor. This is a very well-written, interesting and entertaining book, which in fact is written more by Mindy than Richard. I highly recommend this book and one other that I highly recommend is a book called Understanding: Train of Thought.

A moving story about an amazing couple and their journey back from the edge of a horrific injury. A "must read" for all fans of Richard Hammond and the BBC hit show Top Gear.
