I mostly enjoyed this book. I learned a lot of strange things about our manned space program. Chapter 8 "One Furry Step for Mankind," was the funniest part. I would not recommend reading Chapter 6 "Throwing Up and Down" if you are feeling the least bit nauseous. In fact, if I read this book again I would skip that chapter!

This book is great! Mary Roach makes science entertaining. I love the humor with which she writes.
