As always Richard's sections are full of wit and humour. I laughed out loud, I cringed when he mentioned that before his last run of the day, the one where the accident occured, he suddenly thought of some advice a race driver had given him. The advice was, never to drive with a full bladder, as if you crashed, there was a chance it could burst, at this thought Richard decided that maybe he could do with the toilet before getting into the car, almost as if he knew what was going to happen. If you do not tear up while reading the book, I dare you to listen to the audiobook and try not to tear up when Mindy starts narrating her part and you can listen to how hard it is for her to read it aloud. If you are not affected you are not human. An interesting insight into the trauma of and recovery from a brain injury from the viewpoint of the patient and his wife. Richard Hammond, one of the presenters on Top Gear, leads into his accident with a jet-powered car and subsequent brain injury with a short look at his life and his career with Top Gear up to the moment of the accident. His wife, Mindy, then continues with a recount of her reactions and subsequent journey with Richard as he fights to regain his life and heal his brain.
