Apollo XIII by Jeffrey Kruger and James Lovell

This book is about the 13th Apollo mission or third moon mision NASA had ever done. The book takes you through James life at NASA and his other space experience's. about a quarter of the way in a disaster happens and the the three astronauts have to find a way to solve this problem using what they can find in their tiny tin can, 200,000 miles a way from home.

I am loving this book, I am halfway through and the characters are really vivid and because James Lovell wrote it, it felt more real. For example, the cockpit of the rocket was so detailed and how everything felt in space, and also just like talking and the way people acted was just so on point. There is a little language, however there is not "adult" things going on. It is a hard book to read, though, with all of the scientific stuff and sometimes unneeded bits. I thought this is a great nonfiction adventure book.


PS they all die.
