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.

catch me reading the rest of andy wier’s books too…. he has such a fun writing style and the way the science is explained makes everything feel more plausible. moonbase life isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, and it was v fun to see this through the eyes of an underdog. love herrrr.. also MOON PHYSICS

A simple heist goes berserk and becomes a tense race to sway the rule of the only city in the moon. Weir can definitely do science and logic his way through science fiction, and even if my eyes glazed over on some of the explanations, he knows what he's talking about. Major points off for there being a regular stream of irrelevant lines that reminded me that this main character is in fact a women written by a man. Not to mention the statement that basically said incest is fine on the moon??
