Review
An outstanding and invigorating book on Elon Musk and his need to right the wrongs of mankind by bettering our society with advancements in technology; and his companies that are world-changing. His perseverance, enthusiasm and his determination in not accepting "No" or "It can't be done" as a solution to a problem will have you fascinated and trying to catch your breath as you read along. The book centers on Musk's quest to "guard man's fate in the universe by turning humans into space colonizers" -- the ultimate dream.
No presence of TOC, glossary or index. There are some photos of Elon Musk at various stages of his life along with people that have and continue to work closely with him. Recommended for grades 7 and up and anyone that is fascinated with Telsa, SpaceX and the technologies and advancements made by Musk.
Overall Book Score: excellent
