Or Is That Just Me? (Audible Audio Edition) Richard Hammond Orion Publishing Group Limited Books
Mr. Hammond is a very funny man, and I loved the book. Unfortunately I got a "gently used" copy with the last few pages missing, so I can't tell if I actually finished the "book" part and all that's missing is the appendix and thank-yous, or if I just ran out of pages, which are two very different things. Can anyone shed any light?Product details

Or Is That Just Me?
Excellent... who doesn't love Richard Hammond? He is not only one of the three funny guys from Top Gear he is an excellent and interesting writer. My daughter loved this gift.
Entertaining as aways!
Having enjoyed other books by Mr. Hammond as well as being quite the fan of Top Gear, I added this book to my collection. The book is light-hearted and funny tale of a soon-to-be-middle-aged man in crisis and is well in contrast from "On the Edge". Which is certainly a good thing--I think one tragedy is enough to handle; although I do feel there should be a follow up to that book.
The first few chapters tend to contrast from the remaining. That is, Mr. Hammond starts trending a theme of "or is that just me" and then suddenly strays on the topics, disrupting the cohesiveness he established. I do not want to give much away regarding his stories, so I will remain vague in this area. However just note that should I ever come to meet him in person I am not sure I could look him straight in the eye (or at least with a straight face) given some intimate details he has shared regarding some, uhh, intimate places.
If you are looking for an in-depth review of issues plaguing society and an approach to their resolution that does not result in the extinction of at least 3 animal species this is not the read for you. However if you are looking for gentle humor and something light to read by all means give this a go.
I enjoyed this book. It's a humorous look at what a man thinks about turning 40. While not as riveting as Hammond's account of his jetcar crash ("My Story On the Edge"), it's still a fun read. Some of the annecdotes are going to make you cringe a little in embarrassment for him, and his prose can be overly wordy and tedious at times, but he's an engaging writer and you know what you're reading comes from inside.
For those of you not familiar with the BBC weekly car show "Top Gear," Richard Hammond is a one-time radio jockey and car fanatic who joined the program as a presenter in 2003. The show is a mix of car reviews, car challenges, road trips, and celebrity interviews and has become a worldwide phenomenon (except in the US). The three presenters are surprisingly famous, particularly after one of them (Hammond) almost died driving a jet-powered car in 2006. He wrote a book (mentioned above) about recovering from the resulting brain damage and the effect it had on him and his family.
Both books are worth reading. Hammond's also written a third book (chronologically between these two) about his experiences on "Top Gear." I'm looking forward to that one.
While I haven't finished the book yet, I find very funny and a very light read. My brother knows exactly what he's going through with the kidney stone issue, and for those of you wondering yes it is that embarrassing, although my brother reportedly didn't wake up with twelve women standing around him once it was done....Anyway, it is a great read and I recommend it to anyone who has seen Top Gear or if they would like a book that they can finish in a few days without thinking about it. It's quite fun and enjoyable.
After reading On the Edge and As You Do I was anxious for Richard Hammonds third book to arrive. Sadly, it was disappointing. The book didn't contain any of the humour or witty banter that As You Do had, and none of the quality writing that On the Edge had. I found the book to just drag on endlessly and seemed to be nothing more than a middle age man droning on about well, middle age. It really felt as though he was trying to fill the pages with needless words in an attempt to give the publishers the however many hundred pages they had asked for. While the book did get a bit funny toward the end, and I'm glad I read it for the fact that I won't be wondering if it's any good, it was disappointing. Read the book because it's decent, just don't expect it to be anywhere near as good as Hammonds first two books.
Have to imagine that he's worked his butt off and been lucky along the way, but still love reading about someone who has the opportunity to travel the world the way he does.
Great stories from the vantage point of a regular guy in some very over the top experiences. Glad that he takes the time to write these books as i enjoy understanding the behind the scenes aspect of what goes in to the projects he's apart of.
