Weir has a niche and he does it very well. A heist on the moon is already a hell of a pitch, but add his attention to detail and brand of humor and you’re in for quite the romp. I had a blast with this, and I was a big fan of the protagonist—though she is also, unfortunately, the source of my biggest criticism. At the end of the day, Weir is a man writing a woman, and he seems incongruently focused on sex in a way I haven’t seen from him. I wouldn’t say our protagonist, Jazz, is objectified, but this is definitely one horny ride. Ultimately I found this annoying, but I was still able to enjoy this as pretty simple fun.

I love how Andy weir does science and drama within science. Interesting plot that kept me on my toes. The main character annoyed me at times though by being so intelligent yet stupid at the same time.

Meh.. a bit underwhelming. Didn't like the main character.. Too "I'm not like other girls". I liked the moon and science bit. It's not a book I'd recommend. Andy Weir's other books are definitely worth the read and the hype.
