Summary: A simpathic biography of a great champion
Comment: Well, what can I say about "Ayrton Senna : The Hard Edge of Genius"? The book itself is not atractive, but is nice. Has very good pictures about the carrer of Ayrton Senna and good appointments of the author. But, in the really, it is just a big almanac. Hilton can't express the spirit of Senna. Just explains some moments of important races, like Suzuka-88. But, reading the book, we don't know that Senna 'saw God at the last curve' - his own words. So, if you are a fan of Senna, buy the book to remember the big champ.

Summary: A critical, sympathetic portrait of a complicated champion
Comment: With Chris Hilton's characteristic meld of insight and panache, "The Hard Edge of Genius" captures the many aspects of a man born with supreme gifts to bend a car to his will and deftly explores the many conflicting emotions Senna stirred in himself and the millions who followed his extraordinary F1 career. Updated to cover the fateful end at Tamburello, Hilton's work spares neither criticism nor compliment, achieving a balance of the two that mirror's Senna's uncanny ability to hold his machine on the edge of adhesion. Senna himself called it "a book you can rely on." Rare praise from a man who relied on little outside of his own skills.

Summary: Wonderful book about the greatest driver of modern F-1!
Comment: Mr. Hilton wrote an extraordinary book, going deep inside Senna's personality and exploits, his sheer determination and velocity, whitout being an one-sided writer that only sees Senna's qualitites. Great job about a career interrupted prematurely!
