I haven't read The Martian, so whereas many reviewers have that to weigh it against, this was my first Weir book.
I enjoyed the setting, the theoretical science moving the plot along, and some of the interactions with the characters, but as with others' opinions I've read, I didn't feel many of the characters were very "real." There were many attempts at witty dialogue and clever action that read more as clichés or "Hollywood" lines; I didn't feel much realatability to the characters, and some of it made me outright roll my eyes. Some of it may have been from the clash of a male, non-muslim author writing a female, muslim (or at least from a muslim family) character.
There was also

a twist/development that was fairly predictable and in my opinion, not very well delivered.

All that being said, I also couldn't put the book down. The plot moved along at a pretty gripping pace, while keeping a pretty good balance of not throwing too much of the theoretical science stuff at you. I appreciated the world building to a solid degree, and would recommend this book to anyone who likes a fun sci-fi romp, with light social commentary to consider along the way.

Reread this for 372 pages and it was worse than I remembered. Entertaining in the way that a bad movie is entertaining. Jazz is insufferable as a protagonist, I wanted her to perish at multiple points in the novel. The author spent all this time researching the science behind the novel but then completely fudges the stakes at the climax of the story in a way that felt very cheap. I had some laughs at least. Chekhov’s reusable condom never paid off!
