The plot of the story is interesting, and Rocky adds a sweet and endearing charm to the book. I think the constant descriptions of the scientific/mathematical process behind decisions taken by Grace slowed down the narrative. And then some plot developments or major successes were explained away too quickly! I enjoyed the read, and thought the overall story was sweet and hopeful, even though I had to really push through some of the slower bits.

As with everything Weir writes, I loved this! This might even beat the Martian for me which is one of my all time favorites. I am so glad I went in blind knowing very little about the story. everything was a surprise and it’s one of those books I wish I could read for the first time again. I didn’t go in expecting to get so emotional either. There were parts where my heart was racing, there were parts where I was choked up. And that’s saying a lot, usually books don’t this much of a reaction from me unless I’m really attached to the characters, and it’s a really compelling story. And I’m a science nerd so all the explanations fed the little nerd part of my brain nicely. Excited for what he writes next!

I laughed out loud multiple times during this book. Like The Martian, the science is great, the characters likable, and the flow strong. Fast paced, engaging, simply delightful. There are lots of lines I wanted to read out loud to my husband (or quote to you here) but they are so much better enjoyed in the context so I restrained myself.

While not as smooth and easy a read as The Martian I really enjoyed this book. The conceots are interesting and i really felt engrossed by the puzzles and survivalism.

The characters are very easy to become attached to. 

despite the sapient alien species being spiderlike and me being an arachnophobe i became VERY attached to Rocky. The ending made me cry
