by: Barbara Kramer‘That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for
mankind,’ was said by Neil Armstrong as he took his first step on the moon in 1969. Barbara Kramer’s biography, Neil Armstrong, The First Man on the Moon, talks about Armstrong’s passion for planes as a child growing up in Ohio and his experiences and accomplishments as an astronaut for NASA. After becoming the first man to walk on the moon in the Apollo 11
mission, he received many awards, became a professor of aerospace engineering and led a very private life. Kramer’s book is good for people who are interested in learning more about Neil Armstrong, but the organization and chapter titles are confusing. Even though Armstrong’s achievements are amazing to read about, his quiet and impersonal life made the book unenjoyable.
