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.

2.0

I found Jazz to be one of the most unlikeable narrators I've ever read, which makes this one of the worst reading experiences I have had. The ending plot gets a bit too convoluted and drawn out for a long final act action scene that I just turn my mind off to skim through as fast as possible. The growth of the character and a romance at the end of the book feel rushed and forced, I personally don't feel she really grew or learned from her experience and many many lucky breaks.

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.

I like Andy Weir's other stuff, but this wasn't for me. I don't like zany heists! I can't tell you why - I've just always found them boring. And while this is a zany heist on the MOON with some cool science, I couldn't get into it. I think you'd like it if you're into capers and sassy dialogue but it was all a little too silly for me.
