3.5
This book was a Christmas present last year as I am interested in the history of space travel but can’t seem to pick up actual non-fiction on the topic.
The story of this graphic novel is the flight of Apollo 11, but it includes some insight on the three astronauts involved and revealed some details that were new to me.
My thoughts:
- The illustrations are ok but nothing to write home about and the speech bubbles are placed confusingly sometimes, causing me to read them out of orderly accident.
- The plot is familiar as it basically follows the flight of Apollo 11 including time stamps and some quotes, but the inclusion of details on the astronauts‘ lives that was interwoven into the story was a nice twist.
Overall this graphic novel was nothing amazing, but I enjoyed it nonetheless and gave it 3.5 stars.
