Clarkson: Look Who's Back

by Gwen Russell

There was a national outcry in 2015 when the BBC announced that they were parting ways with Jeremy Clarkson. However, one thing was clear: he was never going to be away from our screens for long . . . During his time on Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson established himself not only as a motoring aficionado but also an unlikely political commentator with a knack for telling us how it is (and putting his foot in it). However, his "gaffes" only made the nation love him more. While the BBC tried to revive Top Gear after the departure of Clarkson, May, and Hammond with an all-star line-up including Chris Evans and Matt LeBlanc, something just wasn’t right. They soon learned to their cost that there’s no one quite like Clarkson. From scandals over "feckless Mexicans" and infamous punch-ups to his escapades on The Grand Tour, this is the true story of his extraordinary life and career. This entertaining and fully up-to-date biography charts Clarkson’s rise and fall (and rise again), along with the uncensored views and hilarious anecdotes that have made him a national treasure.

Not a bad summary of Mr Clarkson's life so far, I learnt a few things that i never knew.My only niggle with this book is that it did jump backwards and forwards a few times and in doing this it repeated itself a few times to which was a bit annoying and should have been ironed out in proof reading.Otherwise not a bad little read for fans of the big guy.
I so want JC to sit down and write his own Biography i really want to hear his own version of his ups and downs in his life so much ....Please Jezza pretty please!!

Thinking this book was a memoir, and it kind of is, I was disappointed. Jeremy Clarkson and Top Gear, being UK products, were unknown to me. Now that I DO know I wish I had not bought the other book with his name on it. No insult is meant, just, Clarkson's passions (cars) are beyond my scope
