Project Hail Mary

ian shared a tip "This is a terrific read. With this book, #andy_weir, author of #the_martian has clearly established himself as one of the best #hard_science_fiction authors out there. If you like the genre, stop what you are doing and read this book. And if you like audio books, this is one to listen to. The narrator is great and really helps immerse you in the protagonist. One way or the other, this is a #must_read for anyone who enjoys science fiction, or just science in general"

Michael.Dix shared a tip "@ian you will love this. Hard science-based in the same way The Martian was, but an even more interesting story with an inventive storytelling mechanism."

christilee_johnson shared a tip "As a self-proclaimed Sci-fi nerd, this book book offered everything. The protagonist came off realistic, the story-line seemed believable, and the world-building was out of this world...Highly recommended!"

kcmess57 shared a tip "I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves to read. I didn’t get overwhelmed by the scientific/technical details nor bored by too much info. Great tone,characters and humor. I’d loved it all!"

mrsjherm shared a tip "If you don’t mind sci-fi, astrophysics, and microcellular biology there’s a really heartwarming relationship formed between Dr. Grace and Rocky (humans’ first contact with extraterrestrial life). Their friendship is centered around a common goal — to save their plants from astrophage, a microscopic organism that is causing each planet’s ‘Sun’ to dim. I was so engrossed that I couldn’t stop listening! The narrator was amazing and I enjoyed the telling as much as the actual story itself!!!!!!"

kara_weaver_8319 shared a tip "Immediately made my top 5 EVER!!! I absolutely LOVED it. I highly recommend the audio. Once you get into it you'll COMPLETELY understand why. 10/10 recommend"

sofos shared a tip "I loved what Weir did in this book. He took the story to a place he hasn’t explored before, and he did it with all the heart and enthusiasm with which he’s filled his other books. :)"

kalena_medina shared a tip "One of the BEST books I have read in a while. You can hand this to anyone. The audio has some spectacular sound effects and the story was propulsive and fascinating! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

gina_davis_5595 shared a tip "This was a thought provoking book. I am still thinking about it a week later. The mystery part was a surprise, the science was interesting and I didn't find it too much dialog. This was a 1st contact I had never considered. I listen to the audio and enjoyed the narrator."

tara_lagana shared a tip "Andy Weir is a phenomenal novelist and master of engaging science fiction! This is only his third novel, but Project Hail Mary is a great read as are his other books, especially The Martian. Engrossing subject matter and punchy dialogue keep this book humming along. Weir obviously is a gifted scientist, but his books are never too dense or “overly science-y”. Highly recommend."

sandra_ahola shared a tip "This was a such a surprise. Very hard to talk about without spoiling the plot. Glad I knew almost nothing. Although this is full of detailed realistic science it's also full of humanity and heart. I can't believe how touching it was."

stephen_ahloy shared a tip "Love this book. Very well crafted story. I really enjoy how Andy Weir weaves tid bits of Science fact with Science fiction making this story plausible. The writing style is down to earth and easy to consume and by extension visualize. The characters are truly human and their motivations are relatable and believable. I finished this book with a deeper appreciation for the shared bond linking all life"

jane_sartain shared a tip "Easily one of the best books I’ve ever read. Absolutely gripping. I wasn’t a fan of Artemis but this…this was quite the adventure. #project_hail_mary #must_read #andy_weir #science_fiction"

john_mcquiston shared a tip "The book is fantastic. The audiobook is even better. If you like the Martian at all, you’ll love this. The narrator for the audiobook is excellent too."

amanda_jones_9688 shared a tip "Weir is such an excellent story teller! Really captivated the whole way through. As a middle school science teacher, I truly loved the main character and all the science talk that went into this. Great read!"

callie_zak shared a tip "I never thought I would read sci-fi. But oh my gosh, this book was so good. Probably one of my favorite books this year!!! If your debating on getting this book...just buy it, you won't be disappointed"

sierra_evans_8666 shared a tip "This might be my new favorite book.... ever. I was entertained the entire time. I think it is even better than the Martian, for me anyway. The science is there, the adventure is there. It's just good. I listened to the Audio book and I'm so glad I did because the narrator was great! I keep telling everyone about this book."

merry_4015 shared a tip "This is an imaginative story about saving the earth from certain destruction via space travel, Aliens, strange life forms and of friendship."

carl_hyman shared a tip "Just finished Project Hail Mary, I loved it, a little too much technical and physics like language, however, it did not interfere with the storyline and friendship that develops between the main 2 characters, and I was completely satisfied with the ending which was just fantastic !"

jason_ash shared a tip "It was one of the best scifi novels I have read to date. It stayed within the general realm of reality and you could tell the author did a lot of research to be able to write about difficult subjects in relative detail."

asha_king shared a tip "I went through a lot of emotions ready it. I liked that it read like a movie script and had a lot of levity even in the sadder parts. The ending brought it all together for me even though it broke my heart. I read it over a week ago and it’s still on my mind."

thomas_mcnabb shared a tip "It is a good redemption book after artimis. Some of it makes no sense but the story is intriguing and the characters are likeable enough to keep you reading. IMO a worthwhile read."
