    Praise

    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
