At first glance, you might think that being the host of Top Gear, like Richard Hammond, would be that easy but in real life, it's HARD being a TG host because of the long-ish hours, hard-ish work, and scant-ish rewards. On the latter part of his book, his wife, Mindy, was responsible for this part and she explained about how did she and her children struggle while Richard's in a complete brain damage after the crash. Hammo's tale concludes when Richard Hammond was recovered and returned at Top Gear. This book is all about the life and times of Richard Hammond and I'm sure I want to buy that book because the Seattle Public Library doesn't have this book due to regulations. (DARN!)
After Hammo's biography, he wrote another book called "As You Do", recalling his adventures from the North Pole, the USA, and Botswana, where he developed his bonding with an old Opel Kadett, which he called it Oliver. It's hard for having Richard Hammond being away for several weeks from his family but being as adventurous as Richard Hammond must need to balance family manners and a job of being a Top Gear presenter. Again, I can't find that book at the Seattle Public Library so I have to buy one online and read all about Hammo's fun-filled adventures.
Later on, while Richard Hammond was appointed a presenter on another show called "Total Wipeout", he wrote another book called "Or Is That Just Me?", whereas he recalls his past adventures that is similar from his "As You Do" book. This includes his Vietnam Bike Trip adventure with his Top Gear pals, Jeremy and James, and his trip to Hawaii for some "Engineering Connections" episode. What also explains in this book is Richard Hammond's life in his 40's. Seems that Richard Hammond's already becoming a mid-aged male even though he looks a bit younger than expected. But still, this book packs some sense of humor and this is the kind of book I also want to buy it not because of me being a Top Gear fan but it is because I want to know all about his tales.
Those three Hammo Tales such as "On The Edge", "As You Do", and "Or Is That Just Me?" explaining the hidden truth behind our favorite Top Gear presenter, Richard Hammond, and how did this man rose his fame right until his fateful accident that changed his life...FOREVER. I have no idea why did Richard Hammond recalls his experiences he want to share it to everyone but sure, I want to know more about him.
