One More Toy has been seen in the Monaco harbour various times since then and he has also added a smaller one to his collection called the Iceman.

The book is non-fiction, but written like literature--the author is a fiction writer by trade. The marketing around the book is perhaps misleading, but the author himself states that this is not a biography. It reads like many novels I've read, the difference being that the character is a real man and the stories told are real memories. It's a good 'novel,' and as a (big) bonus I learned about Kimi the man, not Kimi the F1 driver. Those looking for insight into F1 will walk away from this book very dissatisfied.

Throughout the book, it’s clear he would rather spend time – and is at his most animated – when playing with his children Robin and Rianna. Life has changed since his two kids, with wife Minttu, were born. Spending around 140 days a year away is not ideal.

Se ei mullista maailmaa, mutta jaksaa pysyä ihan kiinnostavana taitavan kerronnan ja sopivan lyhyiden lukujensa ansiosta. Kerronta ei etene puuduttavan kronologisesti, eikä mihinkään epäolennaiseen ole tuhlattu turhaan sivuja. Teos tarjoaa nopean kurkkauksen erikoiseen F1-maailmaan ja samalla antaa mielikuvan loppujen lopuksi melko mukavan oloisesta jantterista, jonka sanomiset ja olemuksen ymmärtää kirjan lukemisen jälkeen hitusen paremmin. Kimi ei täysin avaudu vieläkään, ja niin sen pitääkin mennä.
