Artemis by Andy Weir
5.0
I loved ”The Martian” so much, I was worried I wouldn’t like this book. I was wrong! Talk about consistency! The wit, action, and science that I enjoyed about ”The Martian” are present in “Artemis”.
Jasmine Bashara has lived on the moon’s only city and colony, Artemis since the age of six. Living in a coffin-sized apartment, she dreams of striking it rich to pay off a very old debt. When an opportunity presents itself that will make Jasmine incredibly rich, she doesn’t hesitate. But, she soon discovers her little heist has put her life in danger and could destroy the fragile community of Artemis itself. Jasmine will have to come up with a brilliant scheme to to stay alive and save her beloved city.
”Jazz is no hero, but she is a very good criminal. That’ll have to do.”
I adored the character of Jasmine; she is sarcastic, smart, and incredibly self-reliant. I admired her loyalty to her friends, her work ethic, and her no-nonsense attitude.
I love how much of a science nerd Andy Weir is. The way the author explains the science behind what life would be like living on the moon, especially for an extended time really helps the reader understand and visualize the setting.
I followed along with the Audible production read by Rosario Dawson and it was an incredible reading. Dawson gave a personality to Jasmine that made her jump off the page for me.
