Title: bad read
Review: A surprisingly bad read.I thought I was going to get a detailed, engaging and POSITIVE story about the Apollo program and Apollo 17 in particular. What I did get was a trip in egocentrism, bad-mouthing and disturbingly irrational reasoning. I won't go into detail, but here is a short example of this:in a peer vote Mr. Cernan voted Rusty Schweickart, Walt Cunninghamand Buzz Aldrin as the worst---because Schweickart was an "irreverant intellectual",Aldrin liked talking about rendezvous and Cunningham because he drove a Porsche instead of a Corvette.Huh...I won't even go into the rest, it is just more of the same bashing.Unless you are a huge fan of his or just like grandomaniacs don't waste your money on this.I've read several books on NASA and Apollo in particular--By Andrew Chaikin, Colin Burgess,Tom Wolfe, Michael Collins, Deke Slayton and Frank Borman, to name just a few.This is on the bottom of my list--- not worth getting it even as a present.
