Drive Hard -or go home!

I just read this book and I don't regret it. I feel I could see -through the authors eyes- what one side of John Z DeLorean was like... This is a story that covers only a very brief part of DeLorean's life (obviously) and I don't consider it the entire measure of the man. I would say that the author presents a credible account of his perspective, I did not get the feeling that it was biased beyond that of someone who was so close to the matter. The excitement, enthusiasm, frustration, disappointment and regret show through. But it does not spoil the read, it instead reinforces its credibility and makes the whole journey more intimate. I am left wondering about the other side of the coin, I wish I could know what JZD was thinking and what were his true motivations and timings. Like anyone out there, he was unique. -even if things done in his business and personal life were later perceived as 'predictable in hind sight'. It truly was a fascinating read, my unfounded, biased and preconceived ideas about JZD were challenged and I am now waiting the delivery of DeLoeran's own book on the matter. -I dream a world where dreamers succeed and the righteous lead.
