Having loved watching The Martian and loved reading Artemis, I was really looking forward to jumping on Andy Weir's latest book nice and early. I'll admit, while eager I was also a little anxious about diving into something more science-focused, since Artemis was more heist-centric, and I haven't read The Martian yet for that very reason. I mean, I'm not anti-science by any means, but I did avoid it as much as I could by getting a BA in college. So with my excitement balanced with a healthy apprehension, I took the plunge.

Overall, I can't think of anything this book did poorly. It masterfully combines mystery, space exploration, scientific study, action scenes, a character study, environmental messages, humor, and aliens all into one story, and still has room for more. I'd highly recommend it to anyone who enjoyed Weir's other works or are looking for an escapist fantasy with some science facts woven into its fiction. Now to just work The Martian somewhere into my TBR list...
