Review: Project Hail Mary

Project Hail MaryProject Hail Mary by Andy Weir
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was surprisingly really good! My contrarian instincts kicked in with the movie coming out and all the hype I was hearing, so I didn't expect too much. But I was quickly sucked in and really enjoyed it. I laughed out loud at several points, it is genuinely funny at points. The character development and story telling is well done; there are a few surprises and I really didn't know how the book would end. The sciences part were really interesting and thought-provoking. Interesting philosophical, moral, and scientific questions are raised. I've heard speculation about a sequel; and while I'd love me some more Rocky and to know more about how things turned out on Earth; I'm not sure a sequel would work. But Weir seems like a talented writer, so maybe.
