I loved this book! If you loved Andy Weir’s other books you should definitely give this one a go.

I can only read so much about airlocks, welding equipment, and complex mechanical language. Can’t believe I actually finished it

fun book

Fast paced and engaging. Bit of a different space based novel.

An intriguing and captivating story! The scientific plot is engaging, not dull. It follows a young girl facing financial difficulties but devising a crazy, awesome solution. Despite being a sci-fi book, it offers many other cool elements. It’s a great read, but not a fast-paced or lengthy book; it’s a good read for about 2-3 weeks.

Given how good Weir’s 1st book was - "The Martian" - this book was a bit of a disappointment. It starts out OK with setting up the place and characters. The quirky main character -Jazz Bashara - is fun at first but got a bit tiresome to me after a while. After that it is pretty mundane until about ¾ of the way through. I have to admit that while reading that part of the book I was not all that motivated to read it, sometimes going a week without picking it up. I even considered not finishing it a time or two. The finale is quite good but not worth plowing through the rest of the book. I will add a disclaimer and say I have read a lot of ScFi in the past 40 or so years so I’m kinda picky about it. 1 ½ stars really - the extra ½ star was for the ending.

Another absolutely cinematic entry into Andy Weir’s collective works. I for one would love to see this turned into a motion picture like this other two novels!

I love how his books have general repeating themes with different stories. This was interesting all throughout. I understood the technical science information better after reading his other two books.

I would call this book a departure from what Andy Weir has written before (The Martian, Project Hail Mary), and I’ve seen mixed reviews. It may not be for everyone, but I enjoyed the romp on the wilder side! Still with a solid science backbone, but more of a gritty “film noir” style that reminded me of Sam Spade stories. I would imagine Weir had fun writing it and gave him a change of pace as well.

I seriously doubt anyone would put this book down or give it a bad review if it did not have any blasphemy. So, why add any at all. As rich and beautiful as the English language is, why resort to the seedy side of the dictionary. About 10% in and I had to stop. Totally unnecessary and very offensive. Pity.
