I'm not nearly smart enough to understand the science stuff in this book, but I didn't need to. SiFi has never been my go-to genre, and to be frank, it's not actually something I'm interested in, BUT I love this book so much. It has it all. The world building is superb,  but my goodness, the relationship between Rylan Grace (human) and Rocky (Eridian) is even better. The story is so so good. Original, funny, enjoyable, thrilling, compelling, irresistible, space adventure. It's just wonderful. Did I say I loved it.....

Aw this was such a sweet read, I thought the ending was realistic and I loved the interactions between Grace and Rocky. Sometimes it was annoying to read "I'm gonna do science" but I appreciate the effort made to explain different parts of the science and maths behind a space journey like this. Could have been much shorter though

Oh boy, this was an amazing read! Project Hail Mary is yet another brilliant Sci-Fi masterpiece by Andy Weir. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and found the characters lovable. I really appreciated the real science involved, and, of course the not-so-real topics.

the meeting with alien life is not real (not yet…) but was also very enjoyable. Ryland and Rocky’s relationship is the best and I love how they learned each other’s languages.

 

Rocky is the best alien companion I love him <3

I recommend this book for any and all Sci-Fi lovers. The real science, however, can be a bit overwhelming sometimes but the story line makes up for it. It picks up pace about a third of the way in, but when it picks up pace it really PICKS UP PACE!

I found the ending to be so heartwarming, I really loved it and enjoyed reading this book.
5/5 for sure

I loved this book! I loved the characters, the world-building, the references to other works of scifi, the surprising ending, the themes of friendship and the scientific sections.
