I absolutely loved this book! Hearing the story unfold from Grace’s perspective was fascinating. You get such a clear view into how he thinks and why he makes the choices he does, which makes the story both engaging and easy to follow. As an educator, I especially appreciated how Andy Weir takes incredibly complex science and explains it in a way that feels approachable without losing the thrill. Rocky quickly became my favorite character! The relationship between him and Grace was heartwarming, unique, and one of the best parts of the book. I also really loved the ending. It wraps up in a way you don’t necessarily expect, but it feels completely right and deeply satisfying. This book has everything: friendship, courage, science fiction, thriller elements, and even a touch of mystery. There wasn’t a single dull moment! It had me captivated from start to finish. If you enjoy stories that feel like E.T. meets 2001: A Space Odyssey meets Interstellar, I can’t recommend Project Hail Mary enough!
