Book Reviews of Moondust: In Search of the Men Who Fell to Earth
Book Review: BRILLIANT...BUY IT!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've read a lot of books about the apollo missions usually in astronauts biographys and memoirs.They are all good but its the same story told by different people with their own version on things...This mission,that mission,etc...This book ,however tells you a bit more about the men themselves and what they are like today not just their achievements.Before I read this I almost felt that I knew the astronauts.How wrong I was.In this book it explains Armstrong's and the other's reluctance to talk to the press over the years and the CMP's also get a look-in which is good.If it wasn't for those guys,the moonwalkers wouldn't have got home!It's written in such a fun way to read I couldn't put it down.JUST BUY IT!!!.Put it this way, my boss couldn't wait for me to finish it so he could finally get me to do some work and stop taking half hour breaks when I'm only allowed 10 mins!!
