I liked it so much I couldn't put it down once I started reading.

I really wanted to know the thoughts of an astronaut, not only about what is was like to go around the moon, but also about the training and how one ends up signing up to something like this. I found answers to most of the questions I had in this book.
Collins decided against using a ghostwriter, a great decision since his easygoing and humble personality shines through and made me want to learn more about him and his remarkable career. Also, his sense of humor had me laughing out loud more than once, keeping the reading light but without shying away from acknowledging all the risks that came with being an astronaut. Maybe some readers will think he goes into too much detail at times but I ate up every piece of information and found it fascinating.

This is a must read for anyone interested in the space race and the experiences of an astronaut from the Apollo era.
