Recenzii
"Enthralling
history
of
road-racing's
golden
era...
It
is
clear
from
Mr.
Cannell's
well-researched
chronicle
that
men
like
Hill
and
von
Trips,
however
different
their
styles,
wouldn't
have
raced
without
the
specter
of
death
tugging
at
their
shoulder."—The
Wall
Street
Journal
"Michael Cannell's narrative rides in the shadows of Laura Hillenbrand'sUnbrokenin the way it introduces a fascinating cast while reviving a time and place in which death danced with glory... In often jaw-dropping detail, Cannell explores both Hill's triumph (he remains the only Yank to win Formula One's coveted crown) as well as the grizzly world that was auto racing in an age before safety concerns."—USA Today
"WithTHE LIMIT, Michael Cannell has given us a sports epic for the ages, as well as a memory of one the great eras of the American century. It ranks with John Milius's script forBig Wednesdayand James Salter'sDownhill Racer.As my father would say, it's not about a race. It's about life."—Rich Cohen, author ofSweet and Low
"Before I wanted to become a writer I longed to become a Ferrari race car driver.THE LIMITdropped me into the driver's seats of the fastest cars in the world during the Grand Prix explosion of the 50's and 60's. The story here is compelling andfast...the characters are massive men breathing speed and chewing adrenalin. This is a V12 blast of a book."—Anthony Swofford, author of Jarhead
"Vivid biography of a fast-and-furious competitor on the Grand Prix racing circuit . . . a passionate, ambitious work . . . Cannell doesn't lean on the crutch of exposition to convey Hill's intrepid, sporty story, demonstrating great talent as a biographer. A crisply written, effectively compelling chronicle."—Kirkus Reviews
"Cannell's full-throttle epic leaves you breathless."—Publishers Weekly
A roaring zip about an American who took on the 1961 Grand Prix... as Cannell recounts in this winning book, Hill would prove to be a groundbreaking figure in the history of international racing-even as his accomplishments were met with a collective shrug of the shoulders in his native country.... Racing diehards, of course, will know the outcome. But the rest of us will come to this story blissfully unfamiliar with the thrills and sorrow contained in the book's last 70 pages.—The Daily Beast
Exhilarating... Its pages are filled with tales of nationalistic ardor, devil-may-care bravura, and gallows humor. And there are wrecks. Grisly, spectacular, pyrotechnic wrecks.... The Limit reads like a thriller. And his breathless depictions of disaster will have you white-knuckling your armchair.—The Boston Globe
A testosterone-fueled nonfiction book about auto racing in its bloody golden age, The Limit provides the drama and nostalgia of Seabiscuit and the body count of Gladiator. Its riveting, guy-centric story places readers behind the wheel as two vastly different drivers compete for Formula 1 glory.... In prose as fast and unadorned as an early Ferrari, Cannell rolls out an entertaining and exciting story on the way to the finish line.—Associated Press
