    Finally, Collins gets the recognition he deserves! This book is a well-researched tribute to a true hero.

  2. Yuvraj Jaiswal

    Informative but not particularly engaging. It felt more like a report than a gripping biography. Still, learned a lot.

  3. Vidhi Kackar

    A captivating story of an unsung hero. Buckley does a great job of bringing Collins’ personality to life.

    I had mixed feelings. The facts are there, but the writing style could be better. Needed more spark.

    This is good but it needs pictures. Book is still good for knowledge but reading experience is out of .

    A decent account of Collins’ life. It covers the basics but lacks depth. Expected a more compelling narrative.

    The book was okay. I learned new things, but the pacing was uneven. Some parts dragged on, while others felt too brief.

    Interesting subject matter, but the book felt a bit rushed. I wanted more in-depth analysis of Collins’ emotional experience.

    Collins’ story is fascinating! This book shed light on his vital contributions. I just wish there were more personal anecdotes.

  14. Akagra Ravi
