Review:
Praise for Endurance "Captivating, charming . . . [Kelly] pulls back the curtain separating the myth of the astronaut from its human realities." -- The New York Times Book Review "[Endurance] is a memoir of the right stuff that will hypnotize any space geek." --The Wall Street Journal
"Endurance, with its honest, gritty descriptions of an unimaginable life, a year off Earth, is as close as most readers will come to making that voyage themselves." --The Financial Times "Kelly's account is insightful, at times humorous, heart-tugging at others. And it's inspiring enough to change the life of some lost kid, just like The Right Stuff did for him." --USA Today "For space junkies, it's absolutely required reading. . . . We feel as though we're right there with him. A great book." --Booklist "This isn't your usual astronaut's memoir." --The Philadelphia Tribune Praise for My Journey to the Stars "Kelly's account firmly underscores the rewards of dedication to one's dreams." --Publishers Weekly "Kelly's story is an inspiration for adventure, fodder for space fascination, and a call to work hard and follow one's dreams." --Booklist "[Will] inspire a new generation of space -travelers." --School Library Journal
