5.0 out of 5 stars Hard to put down, 17 Oct 2005
By Mr. G. P. Nottage "eylant" (Surrey, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Gilles Villeneuve: The Life of a Legend (Paperback)
A very interesting read. Well written and seemed to cover plenty of facts. I enjoyed reading about a hero who was before my time, as his legend lives on. I can see why other reviews say there is barely a bad word about him, as this book does give a strong impression of a committed racer who wouldn't do anything other than give 100%. I think it's worth reading to learn about how he rose to the top of motorsport.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book on the Canadian Daredevil, 26 Feb 2001
By A Customer
What can you say? Gilles was one of the greatest. He was up their with Senna in terms of passion and as Donaldson states at one point Gilles said that he only felt truly alive behind the wheel. He was a racer's racer. This not only charts his career, but also his life and passions. It has interviews from the greats like Mr. Ferrari,Laffite, Prost, Lauda, Arnoux and so on. Buy this book now, you won't regret it, it's fantastic
