Whitcoulls has it.
There is a 25% off sale happening until the 12th December and it is well worth while taking advantage of that saving! It is around $45-.
Edit: $39.95 at Borders.

Well. What a book.
I've never really decided if I like Hana's style of writing. But the book explains why the doco was the way it was & a bit depressing/lacking. Obviously he did his research but had to fill in the bits about what Kim was thinking during the races etc, 'cause 2nd hand info will only tell you what occurred externally.
The book however shows how much was against him, alternatively some realism of him being a little outclassed by the greats, but that he was improving considering his lack of experience.
Last chapter (ok I can't give it away, its like the Titanic, you know its going to sink) but I was dreading reading it as you didn't want him to die. But when I did finish it I was shellshocked & couldn't sleep. It left me with the desire to go punch some people in the face, especially hospital staff of 70's Britain.
Go buy it.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

Yeah I did'nt want to read the last chapter.
Good book tho'.
Dave kinda summed it up.
Life is a lesson-if I bother to listen

More like wanting to punch some people in the face, especially the officialdom at the track and their pathetic reponse after his accident.
Bouncy...bouncy..
Great read so far. Approx half way through the book. Worth a borrow or buy.
