Reviews

"This is an exceptionally sensitive and intelligent book." -- Robert Pirsig "The Perfect Vehicle uses motorcycles as a lens for examining risk, freedom, and most surprisingly, relationships between men and women... Pierson comes through brilliantly, crafting her sentences with precision and a sure ear." -- Ann Marlowe - Village Voice "As Pierson tells us why she loves riding, many who share her passion will often feel themselves nodding, saying, 'Yeah, she caught it.'" -- Andy Solomon - Chicago Tribune
