Endurance: A Year in Space, a Lifetime of Discovery
by Scott Kelly
4.5 stars
This book proves that space travel can be just as exciting
nonfiction as fiction and Scott Kelly does a fantastic job of describing his
journey to becoming one of two astronauts staying at the International Space
Station (ISS) for an entire year. His narrative
alternates between his experiences during the year in the ISS and his long road
to becoming an astronaut. Using simple
language, this is an inspiring story of turning your life around in order to
meet your goals and always saying yes to challenging adventures. At times, I will admit that the details
become repetitive but it was all so entirely interesting that I never really
minded. I have read three books this
year by modern astronauts and they have amazingly all been different and I
thoroughly enjoyed reading this one. I
received this book from the BookishFirst program in exchange for an honest
review.
