3.5 starsThis book while not as good as The Martian it was much better than Artemis. I was worried about reading it after my bad experience with Artemis so I honestly didn’t have high expectations, I’m glad to say I ended up enjoying this book a lot -for the most part.In case you don’t know the premise, some alien microorganisms (astrophage) are eating the sun’s energy simply put which will make Earth colder and lead to another ice age. The 8th-grade teacher is a scientist who finds himself invo...
Yes yes yes. Good book. Good book. Good book. Ryland Grace, the coolest middle school science teacher ever, slows opens his eyes to discover himself on a spaceship. However, he can't remember his name or his exact mission. Will this scientist discover and fulfill his mission in time to save humanity?Project Hail Mary had a very conversational tone, the prose was so smooth and not clunky, and I highly, highly recommend the audiobook. The energy and enthusiasm of the narrator was infectious. Proje...
*Spoiler Alert*You couldn't have prised this out of my hands initially.However, somewhere at the 60% region, it got bogged down by too many flash-fires while our protagonist, Ryland Grace, the ultimate Gary Sue and the purveyor of all things Space/Biology/Physics/Chemistry/Engineering/Math/Music/Language/Etc, got progressively more facetious and irritating.Like a modern-day John McClane (but in space) and with astrophage as the villain. The bumbling White guy who we all know will save the day. H...
okay. so i almost wrote off AW after the disaster that was ‘artemis.’ but im so glad i gave him another chance, because this was really fun.im nowhere near smart enough to understand all of the technical and scientific dialogue in this (im also too lazy to fact check and do any research on the concepts discussed), but that did not stop me from enjoying this. and i honestly wasnt expecting much, so the fact that alien lifeforms are present, by way of a precious alien named rocky, really surprised...
Thirty years. I looked out at their little faces. In thirty years they’d all be in their early forties. They would bear the brunt of it all. And it wouldn’t be easy. These kids were going to grow up in an idyllic world and be thrown into an apocalyptic nightmare. They were the generation that would experience the Sixth Extinction Event. -------------------------------------- Knock-knock-knock.No, that’s not creepy at all. Being in a spaceship twelve light-years from home and having someone
I can't remember the last time I cried so hard at the end of a book. Wow, wow, wow.
i just think it’s funny how i’ve already filmed my best books of 2021 video 🤡
I love accessible sci-fi and I truly do not know how Andy Weir makes his books so readable and yet so comprehensive in terms of the science. This is a page-turner. It’s so much fun! Ryland wakes up alone on a spaceship and doesn’t remember who he is, what his mission is, or even where in the universe he is. Everything just gets wilder from there.
UPDATE: $3.99 on Kindle US today 3/6/225 Stars ⭐️ I loved the Martian, loved Artemis but Project Hail Mary was everything! The book starts out with some cray and you don’t want to put it down because you want to know what the hell is going on!! The story goes back and forth from the present to the past and how it all came to be. My favorite part was when Rocky came onto the scene. I love him so much and if you read the book and don’t love him, there is something wrong with you. The book has plen...
Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir Project Hail Mary gives us the story in several timelines. It starts with Ryland Grace waking up in a room, tubes and lines running from his body, mind groggy and memory slow to return. In fact, it's like he has amnesia. His two roommates died at some much earlier date, their bodies now mummified. He has no idea where he is, who the other people were, what he's supposed to do now. But there is a computerized voice urging him to "eat" slop from a tube and telling hi...
“I’d have to do the math to know for sure but — I can’t help it, I want to do the math right now.” This book is half science experiments, half wacky buddy comedy — and it just works so so so well! That nerdy glee I felt on every page of The Martian is back full force. By golly*, I am so gosh-darn* happy right now. Geez and fudge and Holy Moly!*. (Yeah, this book’s protagonist tends to sound like he’s 85 — he’s just not a foul-mouthed sort of a scientist): * “The whole world put you in ch
Like most people, I was first introduced to Weir’s writing through The Martian. His latest novel is a wild tale about a high school science teacher who wakes up in a different star system with no memory of how he got there. The rest of the story is all about how he uses science and engineering to save the day. It’s a fun read, and I finished the whole thing in one weekend.
