Project Hail Mary

This was a great ride! Sci-fi that felt very real and frightingly plausible. The science (at least for a nerd) kept me impressed, in a way the martian's had me bored. The character of ryland was very relatable and likeable, and the audible narration was fantastic.

This was surprisingly sweet, with a friendship that was beyond touching. The plot was vert engaging, with the flashbacks providing fascinating details and character development.

The ending, although wrapped things up, was slightly mixed for me, on one hand, the emotional aspect and character growth was fulfilled, however the resolution of the plot wasn't as satisfactory for me as was the journey.

I recommend this book for those who like a relatable, likeable character, a lot of science and a plot that seems extremely plausible, and a tender story of how it's never too late to do the right thing.

4.5 stars
