My husband has a long driving commute, and since he has talked about the best merging techniques and other traffic trivia, I thought he would like this audio book. He said there is a lot of boring narritive and few nuggets of info. He didn’t even finish listening to the CD set. I wouldn’t recommend it.

I never reiceved the book, it was paid for ,verified by the shipper he recieved the payment,I sent five emails
asking where my book was and when would be shipped NEVER recieved an answer. End up filing a police report and sending a complaint to the Better Business Bureau.
What was disappointing every email i sent i would get an email from amazon but not at anytime did they offer assistance to help me get my order. So I am out my book and my money

I have not read this book, so this review is about the actual pages of the book, which are those terribly cut pages that look like some kid in kindergarden using dull kiddy scissors cut the pages. I hate those pages, and had I known this book had them I would not have ordered this book!

I thought this book might be enlightening about why we drive the way we do. This was the dullest 6 hours of book on CD I have ever listened to. Putting the words “fascinating” and “provocatively” on the jacket is really a stretch.
