Customer Reviews

Outrageous! Funny!

The author claimed he can't write. Nonsense! Nonsense! This book drew me in from the first page! Heavens, I would not do what he did for all the proverbial tea in China. I met him at a motorcycle gathering in Minneapolis. This makes the book a personal issue. Now I must own a copy. Buy it! Be entertained! Only Evel Knievel led a more outrageous life! .... and a lot more broken bones!

Not just for rocket enthusiasts

My husband received this book as a Christmas gift. I started reading the book, even though I'm not technical and know little about rockets. I couldn't put it down. It was exciting to read about the things that Ky and others have accomplished. This book was an inspiration. So much so, that I have contacted Ky and am having him speak to our entire school. Whether you understand rockets and race cars or not, you'll enjoy this book. Deb Holmes

This book is a MUST HAVE!

If you're a race fan or a just love rockets you HAVE to buy this book. It's an easy and fun read. The many pictures make this book an historical archive of rocket powered racing. If you're not a rocket fanatic you will still want to buy this book. Ky's story of perserverance is both uplifting and inspiring. It's a testament to what an impact one person can make by using their raw god-given abilities.
