Project Hail Mary: The Sunday Times bestseller from the author of The Martian

Laid out really well, if great little surprises throughout the book that kept you turning the page. Great book for young adults and older adults.

Genius writing, if u like scify. Some descriptions are very technical and scientific but easily understandable in the context. Very engaging with amazing humor nuggets

Quite literally. AMAZING. Funny, charming, educational. Made me laugh and cry equally. Andy Weir is obviously VERY VERY INTELLIGENT. He uses his intelligence to open our eyes to things without making us feel stupid. I'm sure 99% of the things that happen in this book could happen in the future. Scientifically. BUY THIS BOOK. THEN BUY A COPY FOR SOMEONE YOU LOVE AND WANT TO MAKE HAPPY. I promise you will not regret it.

It's just after 2am and I started this book perhaps 12 hours ago.It is wonderful. I'm reviewing it here with some potential spoilers, although I hope they're not significant to the overall enjoyment of the book.This story is a perfect mixture of what humanity could achieve at its best, if we were all to work together - but also what we are capable of in that same scenario. Our base essences: self-preservation; survival instinct. Fear.It's cleverly told; there's one character, really. One human. Yet the story is told in a series of flashbacks, so the character cast actually feels significant; the one narrator is made three-dimensional by his own memories, and in the same way, we learn much of the situation without information dumps.It has a deliciously unsatisfactory end. We know what we need to know and no more; questions go unanswered.This is a sci-fi full of real science. There's not enough to lose a novice like me, but there's enough, and it's plausible enough, that I feel both invested in the potential reality of the plot, and also utterly terrified at the thought of trying to edit this manuscript.I have never read an #andyweir book before this. I've never even seen the film adaptation of #TheMartian. But #projecthailmary had me laughing out loud, gasping, tearing up, and, most of all, questioning... Questioning everything, in all honesty, from what I would do in Grace's shoes (or, more accurately, grippy socks), to what we actually know about the cosmos, to the base nature of life itself. Sometimes, all these things at once, and then the laughter took me by surprise, and that, in itself, was a wonderful thing.

Andy Weir é uma das grandes revelações da FC. Com "Perdido em Marte", grande e merecido sucesso, e "Artemis", repercussão menor mas ainda assim um bom livro, Weir se estabeleceu como autor renomado, especialmente após a adaptação de Perdido em Marte para o cinema, num filme de Ridley Scott. "Project Hail Mary" retoma o espírito de seu primeiro sucesso, com o protagonista (Ryland Grace) acordando em um ambiente sobre o qual ele não tem a mínima informação, não se lembrando nem do próprio nome. À medida que a memória retorna, ao longo de todo o livro, descobrimos os detalhes que o levaram até a nave em que está; algumas conclusões já haviam sido tiradas pelo próprio Grace, usando a Ciência (e depois fica explicado porque ele não se esqueceu dos conceitos enquanto não se lembrava do seu nome...). Não posso dar mais detalhes pois estragaria as sucessivas surpresas que o livro proporciona, mas mencionarei que o foco do livro será a biologia, ou melhor, a exobiologia, ao contrário da Física que permeou "Perdido em Marte". Há detalhes sobre Física, muito interessantes, mas não são o foco. Em suma, um livro que, principalmente a partir da chegada da nave ao seu destino, torna-se quase impossível de ser largado. Quanto às páginas finais, deixaram-me emocionado até as lágrimas, numa conclusão bela e épica sobre alguém que continua sendo um professor antes de tudo.

One for the nerds, for sure. The story totally worked for me and I loved it. Recommended to those who liked, or loved The Martian.
