Artemis by Andy Weir
3.0
3.5*s
This is a fairly good book, with some really fun characters. The protagonist is probably a bit like marmite to some, and I felt very little attachment to her in the first half of the book. However, when her character had some depth revealed, she was more interesting.
I can see why some people are put off by her descriptions of herself as "sexy" etc, however, I don't think this is a case of "men writing women", but more of writing to fit the woman in question.
Jazz is gifted, lazy, and confident. She's hot, and she knows it. Just like she's smart, and she knows it.
Overall, she's no Mark Wattney, but Rosario Dawson did a lovely job of bringing her and the surrounding cast to life in the audio version. As always, I will be looking forward to Mr Weir's next release.
