"Captivating, charming . . . [Kelly] pulls back the curtain separating the myth of the astronaut from its human realities." —New York Times Book Review“For space junkies, it’s absolutely required reading. . . . We feel as though we’re right there with him. A great book.” —Booklist"[Endurance] is a memoir of the right stuff that will hypnotize any space geek." —Wall Street Journal"Endurance, with its honest, gritty descriptions of an unimaginable life, a year off Earth, is as close as most readers will come to making that voyage themselves.” —The Financial Times“Kelly’s account is insightful, at times humorous, heart-tugging at others. And it’s inspiring enough to change the life of some lost kid, just like The Right Stuff did for him.” —USA Today“This isn’t your usual astronaut’s memoir.” —Philadelphia Tribune |
