I read the First Look of this book. The book begins with Kelly having dinner with his family after returning from spending a year in space. In the introduction, he explains that he was not a great student but was a bit of an adrenaline junkie, taking physical risks as a child, working as an EMT while still in high school, and partying in college to replace his earlier physical risk-taking.
Kelly’s writing is clear and accessible – he writes as if he is having a conversation with his reader. I was disappointed that the First Look only included the book’s prologue, because I was so quickly drawn into his story. I think anyone who enjoys memoirs, space, or science fiction would enjoy this book.
