Richard's Reviews > I Know You Got Soul: Machines with That Certain Something

I like Clarkson. You may not. If you do, you've probably read it already. If you don't, there's no way you'll even pick it up - not with his increasingly lumpy face on the jacket. Read it and stick in your own random pauses. Think of him as Pinter for petrolheads.

He picks machines which he believes have something special about them and writes about each of them for a few pages. He has an enthusiasm for engineering but little evident knowledge. It doesn't matter. The enthusiasm wins you over and you can pick up the details elsewhere.
