I purchased this book based on glowing reviews here and elsewhere, and must admit extreme disappointment. This is not a book about assembling a car, it is a book about an intellectual's struggle with middle age interspersed with occasional comments about putting the car together (which was depressingly uneventful). Had it been marketed more as a essay on how vehicles have changed our lives and interesting tidbits of history, I probably wouldn't be so hard on it. I was looking for another "Truck" by John Jerome, and I was misled that this was it. Roadster isn't a bad book, it's just not for the pure car guy who only cares about fixing and building them and doesn't give a hoot about societal issues. Get "Truck" if zen isn't your thing.

Surprisingly, one of the best parts had nothing to do with the title, but the author's musings on the car industry and manufacturing in general. It's a fun read, especially for anyone who obsesses on cars, or owns a classic. It convinced me without doubt that there is no way I'd ever build one of these things myself, and some pictures would have been appreciated. But overall I enjoyed it, and it got me thinking...

If you have grease under your fingernails and have never been bothered by introspection, avoid this book like the plague. However, I enjoyed this book immensely. It touched several cords in my own life. The mention of Taylor, Gilbreth and the book "Cheaper by the Dozen", which was one of the first books to have left a lasting impression on me. The TV series "The Prisoner", which I first saw in 1969, which had a tremendous (and, I believe in retrospect, not all that positive) impact on my life. However, it was through "The Prisoner" that I obtained my love for the Seven also. And most tragically, we recently watched some close friends lose their daughter, on her 16th birthday, to a freak car accident. Therefore, this book strikes very close to home. So, yes I recommend it. In sum, it's a good starting point for a larger exploration of the automobile and it's imapct on society.
