I absolutely tore through Andy Weir's project Hail Mary. It was just a wonderful adventure from start to finish, very similar to the Martian in that the character tries to solve problems with science, a little bit of an amnesia backstory, but that's all okay, because it was what's necessary to set up the character where he needs to be, which is on a spaceship on a mission to save the planet. Along the way, he has to work with an alien friend, and you kind of keep waiting for it to go Stephen King, and it never goes there. It's a book about science. It's a book about solving problems. And I think it's even kind of a positive view for humanity, just as the book The Martian, brought up the idea how we could work together to solve problems, and showed human beings similar to Star Trek Voyager working together to solve problems, sacrificing their time at home, turning the ship around, making the extra journey to save mark, whatever his name is, on the planet, Mark Watney, Matt Damon, but yes, the same thing of this book, which is quickly being made into a movie starring Ryan Gosling, so fast though, that I think People might ignore this book or not see it. His second book, Artemis, I read, and I will review later, was not great, and I could see how people could miss this. It's pretty long. It's pretty thick looking in the store, but once I got the idea in my head that it existed, I had to read it, and I was thrilled to read it into Kindle edition, nice and light, easy to carry around and mark up, but just an absolute science fiction, treat, not since the Martian. Similar to 2001 just epic I look forward to the film. But if you get a chance check out the book project. Hail Mary. Thanks for reading.
