Too Far From Home: A Story of Life and Death in Space Audiobook

" Started out really interesting (to me) describing life in space, then got bogged down in following all the main characters training and road to becoming astronaut (or cosmonaut). Really lost my interest. "

" Interesting and educational, occasionally beautiful, thoroughly conveys the dangers and rigors and discomforts of the shuttle and station. A bit sprawling, and slow going for long stretches -- could easily have been half the length. Still, glad to have read it. "

" This book gives you a real feel for the problems associated with long-term visits to space. It gave me a good perspective on NASA today. "

" Very interesting book. Learned a lot about the space program and its history. Also, it was really interesting to hear about the lives of these astronauts who were stuck in space for such a long time. "

" I read very little non-fiction, but a friend recommended this book and our tastes are usually similar. Interesting story and insight into how astronauts think and why they are different. They had a few books, but I kept thinking I'd never surrivive without my library! "

" At times this feels more like short biographies of the astronauts who were aboard the International Space Station than a book about life aboard the space station itself. It was an interesting read, but I would have appreciated less fluff and more science. "

" First of all, I love stories about space exploration. This book is an example of why I don't read a lot of regular fiction, because true stories like this are, for me, so much more fascinating. "

" Fascinating account of life in space aboard the International Space Station and the efforts to bring the men back to Earth after their ride home had exploded. "

" An interesting read - sort of like Riding Rockets but more gloomy. Interesting to read about modern Russian/American collaboration, and the space program under Clinton. "
