review 1: This book is very well written and gives a detailed and personal view of an extraordinary man. I had no problem getting through this substantial work, but I have followed formula one for many years, including the tragic weekend when Ayrton Senna and Roland Ratzenburger were killed. I suspect that the book would appeal more to fans of the sport, the movie / documentary is aimed more at the general public who may not actually watch the racing. The book, however, gives much more of the man rather than just the racing driver.
review 2: A lot of people don't like this biography about Ayrton Senna. Either because it was very late in coming, covers little outside those already on the market (Richard Williams - Death of Senna) & takes more time getting there, is very b... moreias toward Senna, or Tom Rubython is a creepy man with a shady journalism history full of litigation. Anyway, a lot of that escaped me because I quite enjoyed it. Okay, yes, it is ridiculously bias, almost a bible of worship to the late great Ayrton Senna, but I was a fan of his back in the day and it provides a lot of interesting details about his life and the correlating events that happened after. Rubython did not write all this by himself, he squashed together his and other people’s work from an old magazine he used to be an editor for… There are some almost inexcusable printing errors, the title on the contents page is ‘The Lide of Senna’ and there is a picture of Senna at Monaco in his 1993 McLaren with the caption dating it as 1983…Regardless, it is a surprisingly enjoyable book to read and as far as I know no one has sued Rubython over it yet. less
