The definitive book of Senna's life. - By: Mr M, 24 Nov 2007 
Ayrton Senna. The name conjures up many feelingsin many people, the greatest ever driver? A vicious & uncompromising racer? a warm & kind individual of many depths? After reading this book the answer is obvious - He was all of that & more, Hilton writesin such a way that you understand everything about the man. Hilton has thoroughly researched his subject, & also speaks from the position of knowing Senna. From wheeling an elderly patientin a wheelchair - to the epic & bitter battles with Prost & Mansell (and also not afraid to expose Senna's more questionable behavior either) this book covers every aspect of Ayrton's life. And more intriguingly he tackles the "second life" Senna's legend has taken on since that fateful afternoon at Tamburello some 13 years ago.
Put simply: It is one of the best books on Formula one & motoracing that I have ever read - & by far the best ever on Ayrton Senna.
Good to know more about the great man. - By: mr Average, 12 Oct 2007 
I am the biggest F1 fan, & one of my only regrets is that i had a brief rest-bite from watching F1in the late eighties - just about the time Senna was at his peak!.The irony being that i watched his early races & new he was something supernaturalin a high powered F1 car, thenin the early nighties i decided to get back into F1; the first "full" race i watched for many a year was the blackest race...Imola 1994.
In pub discussions about F1 i get so embarrassed about not knowing much about Ayrton Senna, so that's why i read this book.It literally -in a interesting well informed way - does what it says on the can:it tells you the whole story.Thanks to the Author [Christopher Hilton] the F1 whole that i have been without has now been filled.Thank you sir!. Highly recommended.
An absolute must for all motor racing fans - By: S M Smith, 26 Mar 2005 An interesting, informative look at one of motor racings greatest ever drivers. The book charts Senna's rise from an early agein karting - through to formula 3000 & then to formula 1, culminatingin that black day at Imola 94. This is a great account of a genuis at work. Recommended.
