this is the first book I've read in this series, and I will be defiantly going to read the others. this book is fantastically written with amazing characters. this story is wrote from both the main characters views which makes a fab story flow. the author has a way of sucking you into the story and you don't let go till the last page. a fab story line with even better characters

highly recommended

Dull
I'm so glad I didn't watch this film at the cinema. I don't think I could've gotten through it without falling asleep, it's that dull and drawn out.

Visually this film looks brilliant, the space scenes especially look great. It also has a very good cast, although unsurprisingly most appear to have been sidelined in favour of Ryan Gosling who is pretty average at best. This film may have been slightly more enjoyable had they gotten someone a little more charismatic in the lead role. I'm just very thankful for Corey Stoll as Aldrin for putting a little life into this! The main problem though is that it is far too long, drawn out and melodramatic, and spends too much time on the earth scenes and build up. They could have easily cut a lot of this out, speed up the pace and knock half an hour off the runtime without any noticeable issues. It isn't really helped though by the fact that we all know how this story turns out (spoiler - he walks on the moon at the end), so there's little suspense or tension and makes for rather a dull film.

I think I found the informative videos made for tourists to watch at Kennedy Space Center more entertaining than this film.

Totally agree. I found the documentary "Apollo 11" much more entertaining than this.
