Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
5.0
I LOVED this!!! I listened to the audiobook (Ray Porter) and I would highly recommend reading it that way, Ray's performance is great, I was fully engaged throughout and he really brought the important characters to life and with perfect comic timing and nuance. As long as you expect to suspend disbelief, enjoy a bit of info-dumpy science now and then, and like a more optimistic heart-warming story, this will not disappoint.
I thought Andy Weir made a couple of good choices that gave this story a winning formula (for me personally) - there's an unfolding mystery because our main character remembers nothing when he first wakes up, and so we gradually learn alongside him who he is and what the hell he's doing there... and he'sa middle school science teacher and is telling his story to us, Joe Bloggs, so the way the science is explained is at a level that is easy to understand and in a fun way.
The end:I cried, a lot. I was happy with the ending.
This might even be my favourite audiobook so far (though it's fighting The House in the Cerulean Sea for that spot!)
