Sex on the Moon: The Amazing Story Behind the Most Audacious Heist in History by Ben Mezrich

4.0

What an outrageous story! Thad Roberts is a fascinating character with very questionable motives. He is a man who seems to have everything going for him and yet he risks it all for a small payoff. The added appeal for me about this book was the fact that I worked onsite at JSC right around the same time of the heist. Reading the descriptions of the buildings and locations at NASA was like stepping back in time for me. The details of the heist and eventual capture were tight and flowed well. I was also happy to read about Thad's time in prison and how he was able to survive and even thrive once he found an outlet for his time and intellect. Though he was a criminal, it was hard not to root for him.
