Lotus Evora: Speed and Style [Tipler, Johnny] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Lotus Evora: Speed and Style Review: Great pictures, terrible writing - As an Evora owner and Lotus fan I was going to buy this no matter what. It is a beautiful looking coffee table book with a many great photos documenting the history and process of creating the Evora. Unfortunately, the writing is just awful. The text is verbose and repetitive - the same words and phrases to describe the same topic just a paragraph or two later. The author likes to randomly inject their opinion against actually interesting information from interviews with the folks who did the work. Within a chapter topics jump randomly from paragraph to paragraph with no logical flow or reason. The book reads like a rough first draft that badly needs an editor to bash it into shape. Buy it for the pictures. A missed opportunity to tell the story of a relatively unknown and underrated car.
