" Great story. OK style. "

" I love a good story about small-town America and the triumphs of people who dare to dream. Inspiring! "

" Listened to this Audio CD... I think it was abridged, so I will have to read the book. It was fantastic. It also was neat to read while living in West Virginia. It gave me new perspective about the state. The movie (October Skys) is great too! "

" Audio Book, October Sky is one of my favorite movies. "

" So much better than I thought it would be. It's a coming-of-age book with multi-faceted characters, romance, danger, parent-child relationships, parent-parent relationships, and even a good dose of science and math thrown in. And it's non-fiction. "

" Brilliant,gritty hardship and American dreams. "

" This was a book that closely matched my life experiences except it was in West Texas and I also went to work for NASA. My autographed picture is of Kirt Debus since he ran the JFK Space Center. "

" A feel-good story. "

" I had to read this book in my first semester at CR. I loved this book! It was such a great story and easy to read! "

" I read this because Josh had to read it for school. I liked it a lot. Great true story. "

" Great book!! I know and have met the main people in this book and have also been to the town in West Virginia where it all took place. I loved this book. "

" This book was boring, and seemed to drag on for a long time. I didn't appreciate the sexual content in the book and thought it was unnecessary and inappropriate. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone. "

" Learn what life was like in a coal mining town. Also a great example of how much a father will do for their son. "

" People should read this book for unlisted reasons. it also is a good book to read for school. "

" This book was boring, i didn't like it very much. There wasn't anything that got my attention. But there were a few parts that was interesting but not very much. If I had a chose i wouldn't pick it again. "

" The beginning was ok but it TOTALLY got better!!!!! "

" Very enjoyable story. I can't wait to see the movie now! "

" Marjorie sent it home for Lyman to read, but I picked it up and really couldn't put it down. "

" Well. At leas it's a nice story about fulfilling one's aspirations through determination and effort; dreams are possible, but you can't just sit there waiting for them to come true. "

" A prodigous work of non-fiction representing a great need for drive, acceptance, and upthe nature of growing in a community not ready for your dreams. Moving and uplifting. "

" I loved this book. Homer Hickam does a very good job capturing characters with his writing. He told this story in a very interesting and surprisingly funny way. "

" Wow. this is a really good book. and we read it in school, which is even more surprising, considering some language and interesting scenes in the book. but I am disappointed that I'm going to miss the first half of the movie in core because of a choir trip. "
