Reviews with content warning for Blood - פרויקט הייל מרי

DAMN THIS WAS GOOD! Starts out slowly but once it gets going you’re not gonna want to stop.

This was my first sci-fi and I don’t know how any other sci-fi books are going to measure up to Project Hail Mary.

The premise is so interesting and the characters are so so so wonderful. The plot twists are wild. I can’t believe we have to wait until 2026 for the movie. 🙃

I’m giving it 4.5 instead of 5 stars only because of the heavy scientific descriptions that went over my head. Luckily you don’t need to understand it to enjoy the book!

Just amazing story, characters and performance. I can't put it into words right now. I'll come back to this review when I'm not crying (in a good way).

If you liked The Martian at all and are looking for something with that level of competency porn but a bit more sci-fi, this is the book for you. I cheered, I laughed, and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. There is an added mystery element on top of all the problem solving that goes on, and while it’s nothing world changing, it is engaging and impactful. Just good, well-researched, thrilling sci-fi fun!

2024: CHEF'S KISS

2022: One of the easiest 5 stars I've ever given!! This book was the Goodreads Choice winner for Sci-Fi for 2021 and it absolutely deserved it. I laughed out loud, I teared up, I whooped for joy (on the inside.) This book ran me through my emotional paces and it was an extremely enjoyable read. Have you ever read a sci-fi book that seems to lean on a lot of made-up, implausible scientific mechanics? This book is not like that. Andy Weir's dedication to real, tangible astrophysics and mathematical calculations make it so easy to immerse yourself in this story. The protagonist, Ryland, walks you through all the math right as he's doing it -- and his quirky, gregarious attitude makes him so lovable. The relationship he develops with the second protagonist is so heartwarming and genuine. Honestly, if you are a lover of sci-fi, if you're averse to sci-fi, if you've been wronged by sci-fi novels in the past, this book is a breath of fresh air and I highly recommend it.
