Project Hail Mary

This book was not what I was expecting. Reading the summary I was expecting a very serious and intense space adventure, but the tone of the book did not match that at all. I felt that the book was way too silly, lacked plot, and character development. It did not work for me as a reader.

Additionally, I think this book could have benefited from allowing the reader to be confused. I almost wished the first 100 pages or so was written in a way where the reader and our main character have no clue where they are or what they are doing. I felt that the flashbacks happened way too soon and were way too coherent for someone waking up from a coma.

Overall, this book was fun, but could have been better if there was more editing that cut out most of the unnecessary math and dialogue, since most of the math and flashbacks didn't add to the major storyline.
