Book Reviews of ...the Heavens and the Earth: A Political History of the Space Age
Book Review: This book blows
Summary: 1 Stars
I suggest that the publishers package this book with a caffeine IV and a recipe for crystal meth so that the reader can stay awake. I have never encountered a book more full of worthless drivel than this one. The author really needs to find a life and not waste his time writing a gargantuan book that no one in their right mind will ever or should ever read. He turns the Space Race, an inherently interesting topic, into a story that makes getting a root canal seem fun. But alas, I must be off to finish reading this piece of garbage. MEDIC!!!! I NEED SOME CAFFEINE!!!!!
