I laughed, I cryed, I held my breath - I was left speechless

A great man once said, "A book should be the axe that smashes the frozen sea within." 'The dark side of the moon' by William Corlett does exactly that.The plot revolves around two central figures, David Mason, mysteriously kidnapped from his school, and an astronaut, sent on a mission to the dark side of the moon.It is a deeply suspenseful and fascinating book, and just when I thought I knew how it was going to end, a sudden twist in the plot caught me by surprise. This book raises questions about humanity, our lives and the universe. For days after reading it, I could not stop thinking about it, and the challenging and deep ideas it presented.
