I own several books about Senna, and this book is my favorite. It includes several pieces of information of which I was not previously aware, one is his childhood nickname. That was quite an esoteric piece of data that really humanized the story for me.

But what REALLY sets this book apart is the meticulous research and inclusion of memorabilia. With the book you should receive a series of enclosures - reproductions of pit passes, stickers, and handwritten notes, not just photos on a page, but actual items carefully included in tissue paper envelopes hidden within the book's pages.

I actually lived when Senna was ascending and watched his races. He was so good, I will admit I developed a dislike for the man - I wanted to see victories by others at least SOME of the time. But that was Senna. He was light years past all others, and this book is a testament to that. Very well done, and a highly recommended addition to the library of anyone wishing to learn more about Ayrton Senna de Silva. ( )
