This one was a very two-sided read for me. It took me a long time to get into the "you have to do this", "you need to be that", "you'll never make it as an astronaut" phrases and it made me feel very useless that I don't have Hadfield's determination to plan everything and decide on a career at the age of 9.
I started to enjoy the book only after roughly half of it, when the preparations to go to space were done. There was less "you're useless for space travel" talk, which I'm well aware of, but still isn't nice being told repeatedly.
Information wise, it was very interesting to see that there is so much more to space travel than just getting on a rocket and being launched. All the people working together to expand the borders of human knowledge even just a little is really inspiring.
