Title: Unreadably boring
Product review: I've enjoyed dozens of fine books on the Apollo program. Murray's "Apollo" was my favorite, for all of its inside technical info. I had hoped this would be more of the same, including expanding on the fascinating technology of the Saturn engines, and the obstacles the engineers overcame.Instead, it reads like a boring engineering document dump, with no narrative. I found myself skipping chunks of text, hoping to find the "interesting" stuff. It never materialized.As a degreed engineer, I can handle geeky tech talk, and I reveled in it when fascinatingly delivered by Murray. I also enjoyed the Gene Kranz book, which gave insights (especially project management and personnel issues) I had not learned in countless other books on the topic.Unless you are looking for dry, exhaustive archives of facts without any real context or narrative, skip this one.
