It was interesting to read about the astronauts usually not mentioned (or only in passing) in most other books about the Apollo program. I'm glad the people in this book get their stories told. Equally fascinating was the short chapter on the Soviet cosmonauts (although the author's frustration about misinformation in this area sometimes made the thread hard to follow).

At times the book really dragged. I feel bad saying it about a book about astronauts who died, but sometimes it got boring show more to read. show less
