Amazing! A personal mystery within a scientific one. A triumph of camaraderie on Earth and in space. A circumstance that asks us to question our morals and thought processes. This novel was relentless in captivating the reader and demanding turned page after turned page. Funny, emotional, and original, this book and its characters left me invested in science in a way I could not have predicted, even influencing the way I approach critical analysis and problem solving. With a rather unexpected ending, the story leaves our beloved characters in a surprising but heartwarming predicament that readers can absolutely relish in.

2024: CHEF'S KISS

2022: One of the easiest 5 stars I've ever given!! This book was the Goodreads Choice winner for Sci-Fi for 2021 and it absolutely deserved it. I laughed out loud, I teared up, I whooped for joy (on the inside.) This book ran me through my emotional paces and it was an extremely enjoyable read. Have you ever read a sci-fi book that seems to lean on a lot of made-up, implausible scientific mechanics? This book is not like that. Andy Weir's dedication to real, tangible astrophysics and mathematical calculations make it so easy to immerse yourself in this story. The protagonist, Ryland, walks you through all the math right as he's doing it -- and his quirky, gregarious attitude makes him so lovable. The relationship he develops with the second protagonist is so heartwarming and genuine. Honestly, if you are a lover of sci-fi, if you're averse to sci-fi, if you've been wronged by sci-fi novels in the past, this book is a breath of fresh air and I highly recommend it.
