A review by emilyrosebooks
Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir

adventurous emotional funny hopeful inspiring lighthearted medium-paced

5.0

I loved this! Sci-fi story, which I don't typically read a lot of, but it was so fun and ultimately emotional that I didn't really expect. I HIGHLY recommend the audiobook, the voice actor and the sound effects really bring a lot of life to it. The whole book is from the point of view of Ryland Grace, a man who wakes up from a coma with significant amnesia on a space ship, and you follow him in real time as he realizes where he is and why he is there, as well as his journey to self-discovery and saving the planet. There are also flashbacks to the time leading up to him getting on the spaceship that the reader sees at the same time that Ryland is remembering them, so you kind of feel like you are on the emotional journey with him. 

You might also find yourself emotionally attached the most unlikely of characters, and I don't want to spoil it, but you will laugh for sure, and I know I cried at this book. Definitely a great read.
