Customer Reviews

The long journey home. The story of Apollo 13.

The main character in this book is Jim Lovell. Jim is a very imaginative man. He dreams of going to the moon with his friend Ken Mattingly. When he finally gets to go to the moon like Neil Armstrong Ken gets sick and doesn't get to go. Finally in space something happens that Jim will never forget. In the beginning the plot was to go to the moon to collect moon rocks but when something explodes on the ship they just try to get them home alive. The story takes place on the Apollo13 space shuttle in space and in mission control in Houston. The theme was trying to get the astronauts home safely. I loved this story because it was exciting and very thrilling. I just kept wanting to read more and more and before I knew it the book was over and my adventure was over. So it was a fantastic book and I think everybody should read it The best part was it was based on a true story.
