 Montezuma's Ferrari worthy successor to The Last Open Road February 13, 2007
I've just finished Montezuma's Ferrari and was plesantly surprised by it. It doesn't quite have the impact of The Last Open Road, the characters and locales now being familiar, but it's still has its own surprises, the trip to Mexico coming to mind. I'm looking forward to the other two books in the series.
If for no other reason, the Levy books are good for the early history of sports car racing in America, but they still deserve to stand on their own merits.
A fun time February 25, 2006
If you have read "The Last Open Road" and liked it, you'll like this. It has the same fun characters and starts where "Open Road" leaves off. If you haven't read "The Last Open Road" you may not enjoy this as much... but, in my opinion, "Montezuma's Ferrari" would stand on it's own. I'm looking foward to reading the next book in the series.

The sequel to "The Last Open Road" it is a must read for readers who loved it. As a stand alone book it isn't quite as good and might not be appreciated as much if read by itself. "The Last Open Road" is multi-dimensional, it is a great car tale and also a coming of age story of a young man who wants to be a sportscar mechanic and is pursuing a girlfriend at the same time. All three threads are intertwined. The book is wonderfully evocative of time and place, you can smell and feel the summer nights which he describes. In "Montezuma's Ferrari" the protagonist is a successful mechanic and married so the focus is mostly on the car tales and the descriptions are not as engrossing but the book is still wonderful.
