Sex on the Moon: The Amazing Story Behind the Most Audacious Heist in History

Very interesting story. Unfortunately, I'll have to think twice before purchasing anything else narrated by Affleck.

This story is very interesting and well written; if I were reading the book it would get a higher rating. But this is the most awful narration I've heard in a long time. He sounds constantly bored by the material and annoyed at having to do this. It really detracts from the book. Too bad - this is an interesting story!

This is a fun suspense-thriller made more interesting because it's non-fiction. Before buying the book I read several reviews critical of the narration. While I don't disagree with these reviewers, I saw the narrator in a different light and, with the exception of perhaps two short moments, I thoroughly enjoyed his telling of the story. The narrator sounds a bit like Bill Clinton (in tone and accent) and I imagined that Thad (the "hero"), given his personality, spoke like that, too. So, in a way, even though the story was narrated from the third person, I could imagine that it was Thad telling the story. All-in-all, it was an interesting and absorbing listening experience and I highly recommend the book (although you may want to sample the narration first).

Like all of Ben Mezrich's books, he found a great real life story and that carries the day. Given the way his books tend to become movies, the choice of Casey Affleck to be the reader, though, is suspect and honestly is kind of lacking. I go back and forth on whether it was a good choice. He's NOT a good reader and mostly delivers a throaty stumbling read, but on the the other hand, you can't help but associate his voice with the book's subject and THAT at least is immersive/an interesting characterization, but the voice does get old.

Another well crafted, non-fiction story about one misguided young man. Narration is so-so, but doesn't detract from the hilarity of it all.

A TEENAGER. THE IMAURITY OF HOW THAD LOOKED AT RELATIONSHIPS WAS WAY TOO YOUNG FOR ME.

THAT HE DID NOT GO IN DEPTH ON HIS RELATIONSHIPS WITH PEOPLE IN HIS LIFE. HE SEEMED VERY SUPERFICIAL. RESEARCH ON NASA WAS GOOD THO.

NOT REALLY. HE WAS CLEAR BUT HIS VOICE IS NOT ONE FOR READING A BOOK.

THAD'S WIFE MITE HAVE BEEN INTERESTING IF THE CHARACTER WAS DEVELOPED MORE.

HE WASTED HIS GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR SILLINESS

Yes, the planning of and the execution of the heist was exciting to listen to. It was like being there in real time.

My heart was really thumping on the night they went after the moon rocks.

Yes, if the story was this good.

Fly Me To The Moon would definitely have to be in the soundtrack.

Intriguing behind the scene peek at Johnson Space Center.

Yes, i'm driving all the time

Flawless, is also a big heist

If you have the capability, listen at double speed. I read a lot of the comments before downloading and was hesitant. I felt like Casey Affleck's pace was too slow to keep me interested long enough. At double speed (on iPhone it is faster but not pitched higher) I hardly noticed it was double speed.

Again, at double speed, it was better than not. However, I remember enjoying Bringing Down the House a bit more.

Pace too slow.

Remind me to keep a close eye on my college-bound son.

I would listen to it again, as long as it was with another narrator. The Kindle text synthesizer has a more engaging voice than the narrators...

Nick Sullivan or somone with a similar voice would have made a much better match, but basically anyone but the current narrator would be bettter.

The story in itself is quite full of moments all through, but sure the moments for the handover are of course the most intense.

It's a shame such an interesting story gets destroyed by such a boring narration, but nonetheless, very much worth a read. If you manage to overlook the narration and concentrate on the story you're in for a treat.
