Project Hail Mary

I really don't understand why this book (or The Martian, for that matter) appeals to me so much, because it's literally just a bunch of “and then I did a science” but I was here for it. I didn't understand what was happening about 70% of the time, because my brain is not science-smart, but it was exciting!

I think that, even though Weir isn't the strongest writer in terms of structure and character development, his passion is what makes his stories work. Though this really did read more like a screenplay, and I wasn't surprised to see it's already been optioned for a movie, but again: all weaknesses aside, I had a good time.

ALSO: Rocky is forever best boy and I love him. Happy happy happy!

Anyway, 3.5 sciences out of 5, rounded up because of what I mentioned in my spoiler.
