Aside from the bureaucracy rants and arrogance, it is just a poorly written book. I struggled to finish this. There are a few great moments when describing actually being in space but otherwise I would not recommend this book to someone interested in the life of an astronaut and their experiences.

I've realized that, as much as I like the idea of reading a memoir, most people aren't that interesting. I mean, I think being an astronaut would be awesome and everything, but Jones doesn't really bring much to the table as a writer. Which I guess is why he's an astronaut. It was pretty interesting, but I am more into the actual science rather than the story of a dude I've never heard of.
