Interesting and entertaining March 3, 2008
While written in a very breezy style, this title contains a surprising amount of information on what goes into a good moviecar chase, and the various people who combine to create it (directors, stunt co-ordinators, cameramen, drivers, actors etc). Some good illustrations, from the fifties through to toaday. The author's top 20 chases are well chosen, and I for one won't argue with Bullitt as number 1. An appendix of some sort, with a more complete listing of movies and "who did what" would have been a useful addition, although I guess IMDB can help here.
 Not just a guy gift September 3, 2007

The book was illuminating and entertaining for my son and daughter, both 7, as well as for me, a female. We are all novices, and only my son is an auto enthusiast. It was fun to read about the car chases in Smokey and the Bandit and then to see the movie.

I purchased this as a Christmas present for my brother-in-law and he loves it. I'm going to purchase a few more to put away for future gifts. It always seems to be so difficult to find the right gift for a guy and I think that this is it.
