jenbsbooks 's review for:
Project Hail Mary
by Andy Weir
This book has been getting ALL the buzz. It's one I went ahead and purchased as it is Audible Only, not one I'd be able to borrow from my library. This did not disappoint. It grabbed my attention, made me care about the characters.
I've heard a lot about Ray Porter, and I've listened to some other audiobooks he narrates and thought that he was good, but nothing so outstanding. Here, he was outstanding. Lots of different voices and accents, all done so well.
I enjoyed the Physics of it all, what I could understand (having basically just taken high school physics - with my son during an online school year). It was fun to recognize certain principles and equations and experiments. Made me wonder if a science teacher might ever give extra credit to kids reading this or something similar, just because it makes it more real. To realize that some people learning these things really use them, and to see them in use (even fictionally) was fun for me.
It was interesting how the story would shift from the present to the past -- without really any notice or labels or anything. Normally I like headers, things pointing out changes in POV or time, to make it easier to follow. This was done well, and true to the story (as our character was suddenly remembering things from the past, very abruptly to himself as well).
I was never sure where this was going - loved it to the end. Loved Rocky!
