The author is apparently a celebrity and known for a love of fast cars. He's not famous with me, and I don't give a fig about cars, but this collection of essays was surprisingly interesting. Each chapter is about a different specific machine that he thinks "has soul". In other words, a machine that may not be the best of its type, may sometimes even be useless, but has a certain something that you can fall in love with.

His enthusiasm is infectious, his style is witty, and he unearths interesting bits of history, so I was won over. He almost made me find the AK47 interesting.

Would be 4 stars, but at one point he mentions eating horse. As a horse myself this appalls me.
