Book Reviews of Moondust: In Search of the Men Who Fell to Earth
Book Review: A Great Read!
Summary: 5 Stars
Having been a impressionable young child when the moonlandings occured; I, like so many others, have read just about every available book on the Apollo program. But none like this. While so many of the books (biographies included) involve the technical aspects of Apollo; very few touch on the emotional chord it stuck with so many of us. This book did all that and more. Andrew Smith began a personal odessey to meet and talk to each of the surviving moonwalkers and in the process found out more about himself (and as I discovered I did as well).
One of the more open, refreshing, books I've read on Apollo to date. Thoroughly Enjoyable!
