Carrying the Fire: An Astronaut's Journey by Michael Collins

3.0

---

I thought this book was a bit too technical for the average reader. Some parts were pretty boring and Collins tended to drone on in some places. I found the chapters when he was in flight to be most interesting. Some people said they didn't think the last chapter was necessary but I actually enjoyed the insights he shared at the end.

I did find Collins to have a bit of a male-chauvinistic tone. He does have a deprecating sense of humor, but as a female reader, some of his comments didn't sit right with me.
