A TALE OF WAR AND RACING
BOOK REVIEW
FASTER THAN THE BULLET
RRP £11.99
It’s probably fair to say that never before in the field of literature has one of the main protagonists of a novel been inspired to make a crucial journey by reading a brief report of an Argentinian Turismo Carretera race in a 1954 copy of Autosport, left in the waiting room of a Welsh doctor’s surgery. So for that reason alone,, was always going to get a thumbs-up from us. But the fact that we’re already gripped by the time this pivotal moment occurs on page 258 indicates the success of Breslin’s tale.
