Have you read any of the others?

There are many talented nonfiction authors that are able to tell a factual story written more like fiction. I just finished a book by Karen Abbott who was able to let the story unfold naturally and kept my interest throughout the unappealing history of the Civil War. I am disappointed to hear the writing was "a little dry" and had "little personality". I think this is an important story that needed to be told. I will still keep it on my to-read list.Cynthia Childresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03397488113679667836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4688749538494774836.post-40749742848425243432017-03-31T07:22:28.560-07:002017-03-31T07:22:28.560-07:00Thank you for your honest opinion about the book. ...Thank you for your honest opinion about the book. I have had high expectations for it because the movie looks so good. I missed your appeal terms the first time and you do mention that the book is technical and dry. Some of the other titles you mention as relevant seem quite interesting. I have wanted to read The Astronaut Wives Club.annieb24https://www.blogger.com/profile/05925753903568378623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4688749538494774836.post-84163045835198144692017-03-29T16:18:14.441-07:002017-03-29T16:18:14.441-07:00I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the book.

I agree with Paige that I liked your honest review because now I don't think I will read the book. Maybe I'll just watch the movie again :)dinosaurjumbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08043062876626269384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4688749538494774836.post-53499621136952592052017-03-27T15:09:05.854-07:002017-03-27T15:09:05.854-07:00I am glad that you included your honest view about...I am glad that you included your honest view about the book. Given the subject matter, I would have expected it to have much more interesting language than you described. I don't typically read nonfiction, though, so I expect all books that sound interesting to be written as fiction. These characters seem to be full of personality; the potential for this book is great. I am sorry that it fell flat for you. Did it include a lot of jargon? Being centered around mathematicians and NASA, I would be nervous that I wouldn't understand all of the language that they used.<br /><br />I really want to see the movie! I feel like they can't go wrong with the cast they have chosen.Paige Yoderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13121493040950980346noreply@blogger.com
