Wheels (42)

Wheels
Arthur Hailey

This was written in 1970 about the Auto industry. A very detailed book.. the author obviously did his homework on Detroit and the industry in general. It is interesting the things which are far off idea in the book.. mostly have come true.. fuel injection, safety, fuel economy.. all issues in the book that have happened. The book also looks at not only the industry, but life on the line. The plight of the inner city person and how working at the line can change their life (hopefully for the better).
I enjoyed this book. This author also did Airport which I read about 25 years ago and enjoyed. A few years ago I started reading his novel Overload but could not get very far before quitting.
