A review by bookworm_anna
Moon Shot: The Inside Story of America's Race to the Moon by Alan Shepard

3.0

Althought I enjoyed reading this book, I cannot say it was well written. The writing seemed contrived and forced. I found myself rolling my eyes a lot! But I found that I couldn't put it down because it gave so much interesting insight into the Mercury and Apollo program. There was so much interesting information given about all of the different attempts and landings, not just the usual suspects- i.e. Mercury 3,4,6; Apollo 1, 11, 13. Each mission was given special attention and that was fascinating. Although I would recommend this book for good inside information, I would not necessarily recommend it as a good read.
