Good book for the F1 fan
I am a keen fan of F1 especially the business side of it. When this appeared at my local library I was over the moon. I found myself reading chapters out of order, simply because I wanted to know too much, too quickly and hence rushed it. It is a good book however, I was left a little disappointed at how it had been condensed (blame the publishers)down into easy to read chapters, rather than giving the reader all the information and more besides. I felt that if the book had been twice the number of pages, it still wouldn't have been enough detail into his life and business dealings. I got the feeling he could have written a book each on his dealings with the main characters of F1.
So if you want a easy to read, disposable book then it fits the bill but to me it was too superficial and short and left me wanting more.
An honest and likeable man
Eddie Jordan doesn't pull any punches here, and it was very refreshing to see how things are for the smaller teams in F1.
I always admired the team's spirit and it was a real eye-opener at times - some of his conclusions at the end of the book really struck a chord with me.
All in all, a really good read for the F1 fan, and a book that will take pride of place in my collection.
Great Book if you are an F1 fan or not
I am a big F1 fan and I picked this book up at the airport before my last holiday. The only problem with it was that i couldn't put it down and finished it in 2 days! I wish I would have known everything about the Jordan team while it was still going as this book would have turned me into a Jordan fan.
Eddie is a top guy and people can learn from him!
great Job
