Some early reviews of the book have trickled in …

Publishers Weekly calls it “Fresh and timely” and writes: “Vanderbilt investigates how human nature has shaped traffic, and vice versa, finally answering drivers’ most familiar and frustrating questions.”

Kirkus, meanwhile, opines that it is “Fluently written and oddly entertaining, full of points to ponder while stuck at the on-ramp meter or an endless red light.”

And Booklist calls it “informative and engaging,” and says “this may be the most insightful and comprehensive study ever done of driving behavior and how it reveals truths about the types of people we are.”
