My Thoughts
Am I interested in car racing? No, I am not. But that did not stop me from enjoying Formula Fast. The information in this book is interesting, but the format and text features make it truly engaging. Readers will learn everything they ever wanted to know, and lots more!
Illustrator, Dragan Kordic has filled it with colorful text features including diagrams, lists, maps, biographical information...you name it.
