Update: excellent book! 5 stars: I highly recommend.

Julia


I've read the Alchemist by Paul Coelho . I liked the book.




MEH- I did turn the pages quickly, but the depth was lacking.

Update: I loved this debut novel--the first in a planned trilogy. 4.5 stars.


All the feels- I stayed up til 4am last night because I had to finish it to see how it ended. I woke up with a major book hangover and bleary, red eyes.

I'm reading this now. Off to a slow start but have read so many positive reviews that I know I should keep going.


I started reading



I'm reading it with some women from my family and then we are all going to see the movie together.

I am going to see the movie tonight. Everyone told me the book might be easier to get into after seeing the movie. It sounds like a great and inspirational story but the book is heavy on the history, so much so that (a) I feel it could be two separate books, and (b) I bought the young readers' edition in the hopes that it will get to the heart of the story without so much background.

Hello! I enjoyed that book very much! Karen

Lorrea, let us know how you liked the movie! I hope you're enjoying the book as well, I'm learning so much from it.

Hi Christina! How did you like the movie? Powerful, right? I agree, I'm glad I went to see the movie before reading the book, because since the movie doesn't give too much information about the characters' background outside of NASA, the book is really interesting and detailed. It does feel rushed at times, I'm right there with you. I want to know even more about these women, I'm going to look through some of the reports that they published. The math might go over my head, but oh well!
