This was so very close to being a DNF for me as there is a LOT of maths and science involved, particular in the beginnings that were going over my head. However, I was encouraged to persist and I'm glad I did. The journey and humanity of the tale that comes strongly into the second half made it worth it - you can let the technical stuff go over your head & still get the gist. Audiobook as opposed to text almost feels like a MUST, due to a very specific element in the story. I'm sure I wouldn't have had the same experience had I read it in text. Narrator was fantastic.

Lone survivor on a space craft saving humanity

later discovered a part of the mission against his will

from life form from eating the sun & with spacecraft only having enough fuel for a one way trip should explain all trigger warnings. Nothing goes into great graphic detail, but most just mentioned very briefly and I want to cover all bases.

Wow, amazing. Totally enthralling. Loved the conceit for the split timelines and learning about Dr. Grace in each. Man oh man, can’t believe I waited so long to read this one

Rocky is my favourite character and I want to hug him, even though it would probably kill me.

This was just a wonderful book, I didn't know anything about it going in besides that I had enjoyed the Martian and this definitely delivered on that same vibe. I was not prepared for

Alien friendship and can now mark this as "books that make me cry about alien spiders"

Read this whole book in 2 days! Absolute page turner & gives you a little hope in humanity. Somehow Weir managed to turn a book about the end of the world into a light-hearted adventure. 🚀
