Book Reviews of The Rocketbelt Caper: A True Tale of Invention, Obsession and Murder
Book Review: Fantastic - amazed that this is all true
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw what I know now is a rocketbelt in the James Bond film and I must say I thought it was just a stunt. Then I found out the rocketbelt in the film was actually real, and I began to read everything I could about rocketbelts, but I found there is one good website but no good books, so I began to wait for this book to come out. It is everything I hoped for. It tells the reader how rocketbelts were really built in the sixties after being used by science fiction stars like Buck Rogers! Even the Nazis tried to build one. But once the real rocketbelts were built there were many problems, including an amazing fued (the "Caper" mentioned in the title) between one set of rocketbelt fanatics that revolves around what is known as the "Rocketbelt Murder". When reading this bit I could hardly wait to turn the pages it is so exciting and strange you just have to find out what happens next. Then I read that many people across the world are trying to build rocketbelts, including one guy here in England! In the book he is test flying his rocketbelt, so maybe soo we'll see it buzzing over our heads! A great book, for anyone who ever fancied flying a rocketbelt, or anyone who loves a good read.
