Project Hail Mary

Characters: ★★★★★ Atmosphere: ★★★★★ Writing Style: ★★★★ Plot: ★★★★ Intrigue: ★★★★ Relationships: ★★★★★ Enjoyment: ★★★★★Overall Rating: ★★★★½An exciting and heartwarming adventure that's both fun and easy to read.I listened to the audiobook version of this, which is the best way to experience this book for reasons the reader will soon discover. This was also the first books I've read of Weir's, so I can't personally compare this to his other works. We follow Ryland Grace's perspective, waking up in a space shuttle with no memory of why he's there, but through flashbacks he slowly recovers his memories and unveils the severity of his situation. Grace problem-solves his way through his mission, to some sort of resolution, but not without unexpected help. The book shines through its cast of characters and the humour that keeps things lighthearted. In conclusion, I hope that if I ever get stranded in space I find a sassy pal to help me through it.
