I have literally just finished this book so I won’t be able to really articulate why just yet, but I had to say something - what a book!! Obviously, I love The Martian. Andy Weir has such a wonderful talent for richly emotional science fiction. I finished that book and felt triumphant. I feel that same triumph now. What an author.

I honestly didn’t expect that when I picked this book up! I heard it was good but “good” can mean so many different things to different people!
It’s is GOOD!!!
It’s a fast paced (which I love), scientific - to a degree (which I find super interesting - love chemistry, biology, virology themed books), save the mankind type of book. It’s full of funny scenes and phrases - made me chuckle out loud on few occasions and it also gets quite emotional towards the end (as you would expect from this type of a book)
I love how the friendship developed between the two main characters. I love how they learnt from each other and how in turn it made them grow.
I absolutely adore everything about this book!!
And if you can listen to the audiobook, that’s even better as the narrator has done a beautiful job of reading this fantastic story!! He made me feel and believe that HE himself was the one on board of Hail Mary!
I will be recommending this book to absolutely everyone! You don’t have to be a fan of sci-fi to enjoy this book!!
And now let me go and purchase a copy of this book so it can live on my bookshelf next to my other 5 and 6 🌟 books!

What the heck...this story was so...cute? I really enjoyed reading through it. I have half a mind to pick up The Martian now.
