Shawn Towner reviewed Sex on the Moon by Ben Mezrich
Review of 'Sex on the Moon' on 'Storygraph'
3 stars
The story of the moon rock heist is an interesting one, but it takes up a very small portion of the book. Most of the book is spent playing up how awesome and smart and charismatic the thief is. It gets a little fawning at times. Strangely, the best parts of the book aren't ones that deal with the heist, but the parts about the random Belgian rock aficionado who tips off the FBI to the heist and the scenes that give a view of what it's like to be a genius working for NASA. After reading this book, one of my new goals in life is to bathe in one of the computer-controlled showers described in the book.
