sorkatani 's review for:

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
4.0
adventurous tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

The first thing I noticed about this book was how similar it is in tone, pace, and humour to Weir's other book, The Martian.

This didn't bother me at all as I enjoyed The Martian, although it has left me wondering if all of Weir's protagonists are just variations of himself. 

The action is mostly cognitive. Science nerds will likely find the story really engaging, but others may find it a bit slow and uneventful. 

As for me, I really enjoyed it. I love how Weir weaves science and humour around a dire situation, and I absolutely adored the friendship sub-plot.

As for the narration, Ray Porter did a fantastic job.
