"New York Times, "Dec. 10, 2006 "Once you read this very entertaining book, you will risk your ability to suspend disbelief the next time you watch a movie car chase. Of course, after trying to cross town (any town) in a hurry, you already know that without a great deal of help, Frank Bullitt and the likes of Popeye Doyle would have been dead or severely injured in the first minutes of their famous chases. This book gives some reasons they weren't." SPEEDTV.com, May 1, 2006 "Before you even OPEN "The Greatest Movie Car Chases of All Time," you know you're in for something special. The dust jacket shows 'bad guy' Bill Hickman launching his 1968 Dodge Charger R/T above the streets of San Francisco. This book may just be 'Number One ... with a Bullitt' (bad pun totally intended). "OK, I'm hooked. Author Jesse Crosse is uniquely qualified to bring his Top 20 list of the greatest car chases of all time. He is an automotive writer and former racer ... and a film buff to boot. "[The book] is divided into seven well-researched chapters ... with Chapter 8 being the payoff ... The Top 20 Car Chase Films of all time.""

"By itself, the list of the 20 greatest car chases of all time makes this book worth the money."

"This is not the 'yee-haw' book you might expect from its title. Instead, this is a book that is written for both the movie buff and for the car enthusiast.
"Only the last chapter of the book focuses on the author's ratings of the top 20 movie car chases of all time. The first 141 pages are a well-researched and documented history of the movie car chase, the people who make them happen and the techniques they use.
"This is a book full of delightful details and behind-the-scenes insight and photography."

If you've been wanting to develop your movie library to include the greatest car chases ever, your handbook has arrived ... there are plenty of studio photos with a foreword and comment throughout by Peter Yates, director of 'Bullitt.'"

"This is a book full of delightful details and behind-the-scenes insight and photography ... There's just one thing wrong: Crosse rates the chase in Bullitt" ahead of Ronin, "and I think it should be the other way around."
