Customer Reviews

pretty cool book

I bought this book after seeing a review in the Sunday paper sometime before Christmas. It was intended as a stocking stuffer for my son. He has told me recently that this is one of his favorite books and thought that it was a pretty cool gift. If you like old cars and crashes then I guess this is the book for you!

Fascinating pics

This book is filled with intriging photo's of mishaps, and crunches. My husband found this to be his favorite book. Its just curious nature I guess, to see these once beautiful cars now twisted, and mangled.

A reminder to wear your selt belt!

As a vintage car enthusiast, looking at all the crumpled old cars shown in "Crash!" that were once beautiful sculptures is fascinating though a bit unsettling. Some photos leave the viewer wondering how the car could have been twisted that way or left positioned so strangely. Fortunately, information on some crashes was available to the author. The book is a quick read and is at the very least a reminder to fasten your selt belt and drive safely or else become the subject of a sequel!
