1st Biography: Jeremy Clarkson - Driven to distraction

Published by: Penguin Group
Author: Jeremy Clarkson
Date: 2010
Published in: London (penguin books LTD)

Top five tips from this biography:

1. As soon as I opened the book on page zero I saw a quote from Jeremy which said "To everyone who made my Range Rover, well done , Chaps. It's brilliant." I find this interesting because as soon as you open the book this appears in your face. I think this shows us that Jeremy is a very thankful person which has helped him to progress into his career.

2. Page number 50 "What exactly is a womans point of view when it comes to cars..." this shows me that he is thinking about womens needs in cars andnot just males who are stereotyped as driving fast, I suppose like he does.

3. On page 55 he says "Top gears back on television tonight with a whole new look..." this is making sure people remember about his programme, which is almost like advertising in his book. He then carries on by saying "..we thought up of new ways to keep BBC2's most popular car show fresh and entertaining" When he says this I feel as though he wants people to believe and feel that it is going to be bigger and better than ever.

4. On page 245 he makes an interesting point which probably helped him along his way and is probably why he is a successful person "Often im relieved to climb out of a lambourghini and into a nissan micra because in my world change is the adrenaline rush." I think of this as being a baseline to success because it shows that he likes change and experiments with different cars and not just stick to the same one.

5. He seems to know alot about what he is talking about, which shows he researches alot on page 336-337 you can see this, "Not that long ago mercades announced they were going to extend their range of saloons and estates to make something for everyone..." This quote shows that he loves to look into things that most people wouldnt know about.
