loved it so much.

For my birthday, I wanted to read a book out of my comfort zone. I don’t lean towards Sci Fi books but seeing so many posts about Project Hail Mary and the adaptation, I took a chance. I listened to the audiobook and watched the adaptation this weekend. I loved seeing such an incredible story come to life, I felt like I was going through the book as I watched it and how accurate it was. I definitely learned how the author’s writing style makes such a difference in our reading journey when we pick up a book. Even though, science is not my strong suit, I was still able to enjoy this book.

🚀 4.5/5

Mmm. Meburgers.

I couldn't read this book without hearing it in Matt Damon's voice. Which I think added to the experience?

Either way, just a fantastic read. Ending may have been a bit rushed, but not enough to warrant anything less than five stars.

I loved this book so much.

I haven't read Weir's previous work so, I didn't feel compelled to compare this book to his previous ones. I found it an extremely good story that took me across a widely diverging range of emotions which it's one of the things I value the most about reading books. In the beginning, the plot was mildly interesting, but at the 25% mark I went from "it's alright" to "holy fluffing sugar balls this is going to be awesome". I wasn't wrong.

The main character is suffering from some pesky amnesia which is a good plot device to develop a story especially because it creates suspense. But it can become trite if badly done and carries the need for flashbacks. Thankfully Weir did it rather well, and the flashbacks were informative and interesting most of the time. Though, I admit that when it was flashback time, I was always reading those scenes rather quickly so I'd get back to the main story as soon as possible.
