After two lengthier audio books, I sought shorter fare.
The Astronaut Wives Club, by Lily Koppel, fit the bill. I was four when astronauts landed on the moon. So, while I remember the rage around space travel, it is not with the clarity some might have. This book was interesting enough, yet somehow sad. It seemed to focus on how unfaithful and inattentive the astronaut heroes were and how long-suffering and, finally, liberated the wives were. After listening to Bill Bryson, this one didn't pull like my previous audio read. I didn't marvel at unknown facts. I suppose I'd call it an okay read. Middle of the road. Not a waste of time, but not as enlightening or uplifting as others.
