Customer Reviews and Description When I first read this book 10 years ago, at the age of 35, I underwent a life-changing conversion experience. I was born and raised nominally Catholic, which is not unusual for the generation that underwent all the experimental formation in the 60s and 70s. We went to Mass on Sundays, but that was it. No prayer in the home, no sacramentals, no discussion of God at all--outside of Church. So when I became an adult, I drifted. I was never "saved" by an evangelical or fundamentalist, but I was probably ... Read MoreRead Reviews and Description

Customer Reviews and Description I love Doris Kearns Goodwin's work, and this book is no exception. It's very different from her other books, but very enjoyable. It brought me back to my childhood while reading about hers.

Customer Reviews and Description I saw the movie. I was intrigued to read the real story. It's a quick read, and different enough fro mthe film to be truly entertaining and eye-opening. Amazing scenes from the French prison. I recommend this book. Take it on a x-country flight to while away the hours from NY to Iowa.

Customer Reviews and Description In 1519 a fleet of five ships staffed by some 260 men set sail with the goal of circumnavigating the globe, a feat never before accomplished. More than three years later only a single boat, carrying just 18 of the original sailors, returned home. In a stroke of good fortune, one of the men who survived the entire journey was Antonio Pigafetta, whom Ferdinand Magellan had assigned to chronicle the voyage.

Customer Reviews and Description The old admonish about never judging a book by its cover is very apropos to Dr. Space. The book's jacket touts this biography as a "...rare, balanced study..." of Von Braun's life. Sadly, that isn't the case. Ward clearly states that he had met Von Braun more than once. Those interactions obviously left Ward with favorable impressions of the man, which end up shaping the portrayal of his subject. Von Braun is depicted as an almost super-human being that was loved by most, but despised by a jealous, inferior few who made the ... Read MoreRead Reviews and Description
