The favorite annual of all grown-up kids is back and overflowing with geeky automotive facts, photos of the slickest cars on the planet, and a foreword from the Stig himself   Every fan will find something to love in this compendium overflowing with TG genius, including plenty of Clarkson, Hammond, and May as they've never been seen before--how about Jeremy Clarkson as a Reliant-driving crime fighter? The hosts dissect the best and worst of the last year’s motors--and just to make sure it doesn't get too serious, there are plenty of jokes at their expense, primarily focused on Hammond's hair, May's newfound obsession with small toys, and Clarkson's obsession with his own voice. It also includes the show's innovative designs for a low-budget Presidential limo, Richard Hammond's guide to making nature better (i.e., faster), the owner's manual for the TG electric car, and secret Top Gear exclusives that have never been seen before. With all this, and much, much more, it's guaranteed to be the loudest, most ambitious, most powerful, and explosive book of the season.… (meer)

This book is hilarious. Full stop ( )

The Big Book of Top Gear is becoming somewhat of a Christmas tradition for me. It’s something to relax with after all the festivities and have a few laughs. Unfortunately for me, my 2010 was one long day so I couldn’t sit down with this until some time after. It was worth it though!

I’m never quite sure who this book is written for – teenage boys, younger boys or young men. I don’t think it’s written for the female Top Gear fan, but I didn’t find anything objectionable in it!

The book is written as a number of short articles, often poking fun at the Jezza, Hamster and Captain Slow personas. For example, James as a DJ (completely unthinkable, would this be the Mozart Nightclub?), Richard writing an advice column (actually, semi-plausible) and Jeremy’s hyperbole service (highly likely). My favourite has to be the spoof National Geographic column, The Pacific Island of Oom. I also enjoy the comic style sections – I would definitely buy a Top Gear comic! There’s also some photo summaries of the Bolivia and Vietnam trips, a bit about the Stig and some bits about cars that could contain factual information. Or perhaps not.

I don’t think this was quite as funny as last year’s annual (perhaps something to do with the disruption of Australian Top Gear viewing pleasure due to commercial networks showing it) but it’s still very, very good.

Read it if: You love Top Gear. Or even know a little bit about it. It’s not about cars. ( )
