This book was an impulse buy for me, and though the cover may be a bit off-putting to some, I'd recommend it to anyone who needs a bit of light-hearted, down-to-earth encouragement on passing their driving text.
There are useful facts and figures that make you feel less of an idiot if you think you're taking longer to pass that you should. There's also practical advice on things like finding the right instructor and making the most of your lessons, and tips aimed at those accompanying the learner driver.
The book is full of anecdotes from real people, and they're not inspirational nonsense - there's a real feeling of honesty to the stories: `Deep down I think I was scared of having to drive alone and so that's why I kept failing...'.
It's basically a great all-rounder, tackling driving from all angles, and making you feel less alone! And it doesn't stop at the point of passing your test, it tells you the stuff you need to know about afterwards too. Though I read it through from cover to cover, there are bits I'll definitely dip back into.
