I just finished Project Hail Mary and am reeling.  ALL. THE. EMOTIONS.  I rarely read science fiction.  Almost never. But I learned a while back that sci-fi can be a perfect escape from the day to day when done well.  Talk about WELL DONE… Andy Weir is both overwhelmingly brilliant and equally creative.  This book is smart.  It’s funny.  It’s endearing and also a bit scary.  The writing is adept, the characterization is rich, and the storyline is compelling.  It’s everything you want in a good book.  (But let’s be clear…this isn’t a “good” book.  This is a phenomenal book.)  This is my first book by Weir, but I have already added his others to my (way too long) TBR.  The hype on this one is completely warranted.
