Full Throttle Hummer  tells how the hummer was made and used.  This book is an informational book written by Tracy Maurer.  This book was released in 2008. It tells how a hummer was made and for what reason and how the military used them.

The interesting things I think is the military used the hummer in World War II.   Later the military asked for a updated version of the hummer.   Scientists asked what can replace a hummer? Well they thought and thought and finally made the humvee.  It can resist water up to 2.5 feet and 0.8 meters.  The final fact I think is interesting is the engine of a humvee and hummer is a 6.6-liters and a turbocharger and it can go up to 300 horsepower.

From a scale from 1-10, I would give it a 6.  This book gives you a lot of information but I don’t like informational books that much and I would recommend this book to people who like cars and informational books.
