Round the Bend

Round the Bend
Round the Bend

Irreverent humor on cars and worldly absurdities.

If you enjoy a bit of cheek mixed with your love for automobiles, "Round the Bend" is your type of joyride. Clarkson's distinct voice—part caustic, part comical—takes you on a global spin that's less about the specs of cars and more about the quirkiness of life in the fast lane. Buckle up for a series of rants and revelations that only Clarkson can deliver with such wit and biting precision.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Jeremy Clarkson gets really riled in Round the Bend. What's it like to drive a car that's actively trying to kill you? This and many other burning questions trouble Jeremy Clarkson as he sets out to explore the world from the safety of four wheels. Avoiding the legions of power-crazed traffic wombles attempting to block highway and byway, he: * Shows how the world of performance cars may be likened to Battersea Dogs Home * Reveals why St Moritz may be the most bonkers town in all of the world * Reminds us that Switzerland is so afraid of snow that any flakes falling on the road are immediately arrested * Argues that washing a car is a waste of time. Funny, globe-trotting, irreverent and sometimes downright rude, Round the Bend is packed with curious and fascinating but otherwise hopelessly useless stories and facts about everything under the sun (and just occasionally cars). It's Jeremy Clarkson at his brilliant best.
