A review by bebidocrimes
Artemis by Andy Weir

funny tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Strong character development? It's complicated

  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

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??
