Project Hail Mary
by Andy Weir
I loved the premise of having to find and destroy space algae that is literally sucking the energy out of the sun, leaving the earth to essentially go into an Ice Age and all humanity would likely die. Great setup. And, the protagonist, Dr. Ryland Grace, is a snarky smart Junior high science teacher who gets sucked into the whole mess. The science is sound, though a bit much for my taste, and I marvel at Weir's imagination. Of course, Grace must save the planet on a solo mission, where he finds an alien whom he befriends, and together they put their science minds together through to save both planets and all earthly and alien life. Weir even developed the alien's language, and they had to figure out how to communicate with each other....another great concept.
I enjoyed this book. I laughed through this book. I marveled at this book. It's very cute and very clean, appropriate for all age groups. But after a while, I felt it became very repetitive, and I just want to skip to the end about halfway through because it seemed to just drag.
I will say - this will end up making a great movie, though, which I think Weir had in mind as he was writing it.
