The Martian by Andy Weir
5.0
Audiobook Read
I messed up. I read Project Hail Mary first. This book is good. Really good. But in comparison to PHM, it’s not fair. PHM has higher stakes, more plot going on. So reading them back to back the way I did was unfair to The Martian. If you plan on reading both, read The Martian first. Also the audiobook is just fine. It didn’t enhance the experience in any way. Not at all like PHM. I think given the chance I would have rather physically read it than do the audiobook. But overall this was still a really good, intense, suspenseful book.
