Project Hail Mary

ian shared a tip "This is a terrific read. With this book, #andy_weir, author of #the_martian ha 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."

amit_agarwal_2171 shared a tip "Andy is a master of combining intelligent sci-fi w humor. Definitely a better outing than Artemis, though the ending left me a little unsatisfied"

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. :)"

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!"

robin_bradford shared a tip "The plot moves quickly and you won't believe the actions some of the characters take. This would make a great book for discussion as there are multiple decisions that impact lives, and debates to have about said decisions. Written cinematically, you're almost able to see the action happening on the big screen. I can't wait for the eventual movie."

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"

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."

rosie_landon shared a tip "I loved the first person narration and the way I can understand the science. Although this is science fiction it could 100% be real by the way that he describes it. Absolute tear jerker of a novel in a way that I wasn’t expecting but with perfect comedy and plot twists all over the place. This is definitely one of the best books I have read/listened to all year. Would also recommend the audiobook. The narration really brought the book to life and had me laughing out loud in the mall! #science_fiction #comedy"

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."

jada_hunter-hays_9418 shared a tip "Yeah, my favorite book ever would definitely be Tapestry: Hound of Rowan, but a close second would be a recent book I read Amari and the Night Brothers. Hbu?"

matthew_robinson_9751 shared a tip "An amazing read. This was my first foray into Andy Weir. I want to read it all and see it all on the big screen! He really puts the science in science fiction!"

rick_vct shared a tip "One of the best sci-fi books I've read. The pure scientific approach to exploration and the wonders of discovery is something to behold. The events and humor make me say wow and clap my hands at times. The audio book also adds so much fun to the experience. Highly recommend."

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."

robena_barton shared a tip "What can I say? This book is pretty much perfect for me. Great dialogue, action packed, emotionally draining, hilariously funny, and the science completely works from a layman's viewpoint. Weir has outdone himself."

joshua_lee_r. shared a tip "It was such an amazing book and didn’t expect how well it turned out. To be honest I wasn’t sure what to expect and was blown away! Grace is such a deeply developed character and you truly feel for him at times and he can make you express the happiness he feels #project_hail_mary #andy_weir #rocky"

jorie_rao shared a tip "For anyone who read The Martian and thought, how did this guy not go insane? Get ready to ask that question again. Hail Mary is a story about the human condition, the flaws in us and the triumphs. Truly a work of art."

cody_mck shared a tip "Just finished this book. Classic Andy Weir. He is amazing at describing the science in the book and grabs your attention when his characters go through a problem solving situation. The book likes to flash back and go back to the present in the latter half of the book. I think it wasn't totally necessary, I see what he was trying to do but after a while you just want to get back what is happening and continue the story. It would have given him more chances to explore other things in the story or add in important gaps that I thought he missed. Not a perfect book but if you like sci-fi and Andy Weir then its definitely worth a read!"

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."

scott_peters shared a tip "Amazingly original tale. Loved it from the start. The narrative moves back and forth between the past and the present. But, if you can deal with that it’s a great book."
