In my opinion, one of the best books I've ever read! It gave me everything I wanted from it science-wise and I really enjoyed the use of <revealing memory through flashbacks>. There were funny moments and profoundly serious moments as well. Extremely well written.

lol what?

I don't really consider myself much of a science fiction reader. It took a little convincing for me to pick this up but I'm mindblown in the most strange and unsettling way. Most of all because if I ever tried to explain the plot of this book to anyone I would immediately be written off as a weirdo (which I am, but that's a different convo.)

Andy Weir has done in one book what takes most writers 4-5 books. He's written a story that stretches the limits of what is possible and yet pulls it off with ease. Project Hail Mary was hilarious and it also made me feel a little sad and a little giddy at times.

What a strange combination.

If this is what I have to look forward to in the science fiction genre I may need to add some more books to my TBR.

This is my first space sci-fi novel and wow was it engrossing! Despite being chock-full of scientific language and challenging concepts to understand, it still felt accessible to anyone who passed high-school chemistry and biology or even just has a basic understanding of space and science. What kept it exciting and engaging was the combo of our main char Grace’s flashbacks/memories of earth recovering over time, his vast knowledge of science, space, and experimentation, and his interactions with Rocky. I grew attached to his alien bestie and found myself wanting so badly for everything to work out for both of them. I enjoyed how past events got gradually revealed over time due to Grace's amnesia, and how it informed both readers and the Grace himself on his actual character and values before he lost his memory. This set up a great character development arc for when he was eventually faced with tough decisions in the present day. I also loved the ending as I found it different than what I expected, but satisfying and touching all the same. I am so curious how this one will be adapted into a movie and I have high expectations after enjoying this book so much!

A really awesome book. I was hooked the entire time and the humour was on point. As a relativity theory enthusiast, this book was just down my alley-way, and I loved how Andy mixed real physics and a fantastical story to create a somewhat authentic feeling book. The dialogue was witty despite the huge (multiple galaxy sized) language barrier and you really get invested in both characters and their species. And I guess this is my sign to finally go read The Martian lol.
