I'm just a nobody in a tiny country called Brunei ... It's 3am here on a Sunday morning, and I just right now finished reading this book. "Endurance" is quite an astonishing book; a rich - and rewarding - reading experience, exciting and educational all at once ! I particularly appreciate that it never got too technical or complicated; in fact, you'll find much of it relatable and touching, as it's written with real tenderness. The main highlight, for myself, is astronaut Scott Kelly's winning personality - what a good man and role model; far from perfect but highly admirable, and heroic to boot. I won't say any more other than ~ I'm REALLY GLAD I came across this publication by pure chance, and it has improved my outlook on life tremendously ever since. ❤️

✔️ I just finished reading "Birds Without Wings" right this minute; it took me 2 whole months to get through the 600+ pages (Mostly due to my hectic work schedule, as opposed to the book quality)! The fact that I DID NOT give up on this novel and read every word (poetic and descriptive throughout) to the end is a testament to how good the writing is ... The story itself, epic in scope, was very said; the tragic ends of so many wonderful and realistic characters broke my heart repeatedly. I'm not sure if I'll read another novel from this writer, but I would definitely recommend him to anyone and most definitely he is a Major Talent 👍
