Rocky is awesome

Although the beginning was slow, it became increasingly engaging and held my interest until the end.

Quite heavy on the science but very interesting. There’s a few laughs along the way and it’s really a bromance novel. I’ve just seen the movie and the book is far superior imo.

One of the first Sci-Fi books I’ve read and I absolutely loved it. Amazing story line and a perfect balance of science / story! I need more

For whatever reason I didn’t love The Martian, but I totally loved this.

It could actually happen…

This book seems to me to have a few flaws, a few places where you have to tell yourself to let your doubts go and just get on with the story. But it is worth it. This is an exciting and excellent read from the start to the end. It is difficult to put it down. I heartily recommend it to anyone who enjoys the untangling of problems, the failures and the triumphs. Wonderful.

Loved this. Complex but a really interesting read that had me in tears at the end. ANDU Weir makes science accessible and interesting. Await the next book now.

It’s really a buddy story. A really good one. Enjoy!

A rich stew of science, humour and what it is to be Human (or Eridian). As with ‘The Martian’, the story pulls you along with the problem-solution chain with great skill. Great storytelling.

I did not think I would like this as it’s not my typical read but …WOW!

It’s a gripping novel that was hard to put down and often kept me up till the early hours of the morning. It had relatable commentary and the explanations behind the science was eye opening and didn’t intimidate my rudimentary understanding from my level 3 science. I actually sobbed at the ended and wish there were more chapters to read.

LOVE. LOVE. And love some more!

Amazing read, I was fascinated from start to finish

Really enjoyed this book!

Just fabulous!

First time ready this an Andy weir book. Probably one of the best stories I’ve ever read. The twists and turns never stopped.

Amazing book, it’ll give you excitement and inspiration, the science is presented in a way it actually makes you want to study, and every chapter gets you more invested in the mission!

It was fun, with great characters, great engaging story and loads of science, must read for all hard science fiction bookworms.

Couldn’t put this book down from start to finish. Excellent story. Loved the technical aspect as well.

I read two other Mr Weir books and found them highly entertaining plus the film of course.

He has surpassed himself in this book. There is a lot of highly technical detail, but an absolutely gripping storyline within it, unpredictable from start to end.

It is the most interesting and intriguing novel I have read for a long time.

Funny and sweet, absolutely loved it.

An epic story of a guy and his mission. The science keeps it interesting, the jokes keeps it funny. I have not read a better realistic-ish sci-fi novel.

Just unbelievably brilliant in every possible sense!

Simply brilliant!!

Need I say anymore

I simply could not put this book down - so sincerely enjoyable, fascinating and addictive throughout. As mentioned, book of the decade for sure.

Fantastic read. I haven’t read an Andy Weir before but very much enjoyed watching The Martian. Will definitely be reading more of them.

Hooked from start to finish. The science almost made it nonfiction.

Best book I have read in a long time.

Very well written in a style that does not over complicate things and gives the reader the impression that the character is talking directly to you to tell his story.

Really good

The most outstanding book I’ve read all year. Problem solving, intrigue, science, and completely unpredictable. Loved it.

Sci fi is at its best when it’s relevant and thought provoking — this tries to be relevant to climate change but ultimately disappoints.

A great read. A perfect mix of fiction and science fact and theory.

Some nicely thought out science problems with a really gripping story

A fun read - engaging, thought provoking and it makes you think!

I cannot remember the last time I went through a book as quickly as with this one. It grabs you by the shirt and pulls you at 300 kilometres per second through the universe in an adrenaline filled ride sparkled with humour and witty remarks. Will this book change my life? Most likely not. Did I absolutely enjoy every page of it? Absolutely!

This book is excellent. Well written, entertaining, educational and funny. It’s a refreshing take on the (impending) apocalypse scenario which doesn’t involve viruses or bloody zombies.

A thoughtful journey into the unknown of our first contact with other worlds and a hopeful finding of our future in the universe.

A touching adventure.

So plausible that you actually believe.

Great science too.

This book is aching to be a movie.

I’d love to say more but can’t without a spoiler. Go read.

Found this rather dull. S I fi books are normally my thing but I found myself struggling to finish it. The main protagonist isn’t really interesting and is rather thinly sketched.

I loved The Martian. I also, against most other reviews, quite enjoyed Artemis. Project Hail Mary is awful, truly awful. Great opening idea. Annoying main character, absurd plot ‘twists’ if you somehow manage to not see them coming. Slow, so so slow. Then cop-out ending. The Martian stretches your imagination slightly, but it could almost work in real life. Artemis, you could wraps your head around the idea and the setting was enough to keep you interested. This is drivel, and I real let down.

Wow wow wow I absolutely loved this book, not my normal genre but I heard Steve Wright on radio 2 talking about it.

One of the best books I’ve ever read, lots science speak but easy digest and follow.

I didn’t want it to end !!! Can’t say about story as don’t want to give the game away

A few very rewarding plot twists, human characters, mad science. Only note is that there’s a little less peril than I expected (compared to The Martian).

Whilst this offering certainly skews more towards the fiction end of the science fiction spectrum than his previous offerings, it remains reassuringly familiar – the humour, the pop-culture references and the unapologetic love of science all scream Andy Weir from the get go.
