Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
- Loveable characters? Yes
5.0
I’ve had this book recommended to me multiple times but was always put off by the genre so it came as a complete surprise that I found myself absolutely loving this one. The start had me hooked, wanting to find out who exactly Ryland was and how he got to be on the ship. I’ll admit there was a part maybe about a third of the way in where my attention wavered a little as the pace slowed for a time, however it was well worth sticking it out. I adored the relationships that developed (amaze, yes yes yes!) and the flashback scenes where we learnt more about the characters.
The amount of research that must have gone into this is nothing short of impressive but don't let the science talk put you off - it’s extremely accessible for even the least sciencey person like myself!
I listened to the audio (thanks @borrowbox) and think it added to the experience of the book even more than if I would have read it. The narrator was fantastic and there’s certain parts I just couldn’t imagine reading in a physical book.
I found myself giggling at the humour laced throughout and even slightly emotional at parts. A fantastic book to end the year on.
