I also wanted to read this book from Crow Club on Fable this month. I haven‘t started it yet but after I finish the ARC I‘m reading, I want to start this one next. I‘m looking forward to reading this one. I‘ve only heard good things about this book and I want to know why everyone loves it. I hope I love it too.

I was on Fable and saw that this club is reading Project Hail Mary this month so I joined the club. I‘ve heard that this book has a lot of science but I‘ve also heard good things about it. I hope I like it. I‘ve had this book on my Goodreads TBR since 2021.

After reading The Martian I did not have real high hopes for this one. But this book managed to both make me laugh and cry. Been awhile since I have been attached to a character so much it has made me cry. The audiobook is amazing and I highly recommend it!

RamsFan1963 I think Project Hail Mary is far superior to The Martian, which I ended up DNFing. I did like the movie though. 2mo

Wow, what a yarn! It took me a while to get into the golly-gee-whiz tone of the first person narration, and I confess I skimmed over a lot of the scienc-y parts, but it's a great story that had me smiling through my tears at the end.

Not as good as The Martian but still a great read. Yes, there were times I skimmed quickly through the long explanations on the science, but that was easy enough to do to get back to the charming, funny parts of the story. The characters were relatable and understandable in their flaws. My cynical mind kept thinking Rocky would turn out to be bad, but I‘m so glad he didn‘t. Best character in the book.

This was my bookclub's pick for the month and absolutely incredible! I'm really happy I listened to the audiobook, it kept me enthralled while I was working. Even over 16 hours long, I finished it in three sittings lol. I loved the Martian, and this had the same humor and math/science that was easy to follow. The jumps between timelines were really well done too. I can't wait to see how the movie adaptation turns out in 2026

OriginalCyn620 I really enjoyed this one too…didn‘t know it was being adapted! (edited) 5mo

I've been told this is a “perfect“ book but the ending is a tiny bit lacking for me to make it absolutely perfect. Either way, this book made me laugh and cry and was a joy to read as the other Weir books were. Still would highly recommend this author for an entertaining read.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Project Hail Mary” is a book that I‘ll be thinking about for a long time. The plot, humanity‘s impending extinction, Ryland‘s character arc, and (of course) Ryland‘s and Rocky‘s friendship are all major reasons why I gave this book all five stars. There is a lot of science in this book, however Weir writes in a way that you will still understand the plot and the book, even if you don‘t get the terms or concepts that he uses.

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐I don't know why I waited so long to read this #NetGalley ARC. Maybe I feared it wouldn't be as good as Weir's other novels. While this isn't quite as awesome as The Martian, it's a close second, and will probably be my favorite book this year. I'm hoping Weir comes out with a new novel soon because he has reached auto-buy status. This was my 6th book for #SciFiSummer

It felt like a slow week but I made steady progress with ADWD and finished My Best Friend's Exorcism which was an extremely fun read. I also started Project Hail Mary which I've been wanting to start for a while, as I keep hearing a lot of praise for it. So far it's been a good listen. Will continue with the same pace

ChaoticMissAdventures I think it is the humor he throws in, and the focus on the characters. I loved the 2 you mentioned but was really let down by his other novel. You might enjoy Becky Chambers she has a similar scifi style to her series 12mo
OriginalCyn620 @ChaoticMissAdventures Definitely love his humor! I‘ve not heard of that series but I‘ll have to check it out sometime! 12mo
TheAromaofBooks I really enjoyed this one and The Martian. But like @ChaoticMissAdventures I wasn't a huge fan of Artemis. Weir did NOT do a good job writing a female POV lol A scifi series that I really enjoyed was the Aurora Cycle. Mainly because I need my scifi to have some snarky humor 😂 12mo

I was really in the mood for Sci-Fi these last two weeks after seeing Dune, Arrival, Interstellar and The Martian 👽. However, #ProjectHailMary didn‘t blow me away. It‘s pretty good and humorous, but the ending was a bit disappointing.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Saving the universe from star eaters. “Memory gap / flashbacks / amnesia drugs” chronology flipping is cheesy, but allows Grace interaction outside of isolation. Lotsa space chemistry. I resisted Rocky, but found fondness. Would watch Rocky sleep. My new mantra: “I may not have all the answers, but I‘m here.” 2021

P390 “I‘m not the right guy for this job. I‘m a last-second replacement because the actually qualified people blew up. But I‘m here.”

My husband and I listened to Project Hail Mary as our road trip book. We both loved it. He said the science was good, and it wasn‘t too far over my head too often. The story was great and touching. I wasn‘t expecting that ending. I liked The Martian, but loved this book. We started Agent to the Stars, and I continued with The Ghost Orchid on my #audiowalk

Texreader I love that you both listen to audiobooks together. Wish my hubs would do that! 1y
KathyWheeler @Texreader I suggested it on a trip one time — I think with the first Dresden Files book — and he found he really enjoyed them. I‘d been listening to them for years on my walks and in the car by myself. 1y

"Project Hail Mary" by Andy Weir. 7,9/10 rating.
For me, this book was pretty controversial. The first half of the book i felt distracted, but after it began picking up pace it was quite fun and interesting.
Still, these are not my kind of books, but I must say I liked it a lot more than other books of this type. Thanks, dad for recommending it to me!
Ps: I shipped Ryland with Stratt, am I the only one??

Running Saturday errands & the craft market I planned to lunch at had very limited food options today (hot ramen & look at the temp—TMI but today‘s snarky weather quote is sadly true! Doubly sad for November vibes!)😓

I stopped for to-go poke & as all the outside seating area is full I‘m enjoying lunch & air con in my car listening finally to the tagged book. It‘s a bit disquieting as the narrator sounds like my old colleague “Safety Steve.”😆

julesG 1) tricky. It wasn't too much for me, but I thought that some of it was just to show off how brilliant Ryland Grace is. 2y

Ruthiella I enjoyed this book much more than The Martian. It had too much science for me personally, but I just glossed over it. Rocky and Ryland were both loners I think who found their soul mate in each other. 😂 I think Startt did the right thing…the good of the many. (edited) 2y
majkia I read this book earlier in the year and loved it. I love the science! 2y
ravenlee I actually enjoyed the science bits, it felt like manageable pieces broken up throughout the story so there wasn‘t a massive science infodump anywhere. And Stratt…was a piece of work in a lot of ways, but she did what was necessary. My favorite part about her was when she acknowledged, facetiously or not) that she would likely face charges after the resolution of the crisis. 2y
CatLass007 I think the book had just the right amount of science to please people who enjoy the science-y part of science fiction. And not too much science to make the non-scientists stop reading. I love the friendship between Ryland and Rocky. They had to work together to learn to communicate and because they learned how to communicate they were able to make the science to solve the problem plaguing both their planets. 2y
kwmg40 I enjoy books with lots of science, but I found the science-fiction ideas less plausible than in The Martian. I liked the friendship between Ryland and Rocky, and the efforts in communicating were both interesting and entertaining. I can accept Stratt's actions under the circumstances. 2y
PaperbackPirate I thought it was a good amount of science as well. Ryland is a scientist doing science stuff so it made sense in the context and didn‘t feel forced to me. I loved the similarities between Ryland and Rocky. They both wanted to save their people (eventually ;) and were both very skilled in their fields. They also seemed to have a similar sense of humor. Stratt made the hard decisions a leader has to make. Cool characters! 2y
Bookwomble 1) The science aspect felt reasonable & self-consistent for me. I'd've been happy with more, but it was also enough. 2) Yeah, I really liked the relationship between Ryland & Rocky. Although I don't mind "aliens want to eat your brains" stories, I actually prefer "what can we learn by befriending beings with different perspectives" stories. 3) Stratt did what was necessary. IRL, I can't imagine politicians giving up their power in this way. 2y

97/150 I'll be the first to admit I didn't finish The Martian, got bogged down in the science. I thought I'd have the same problem with this, but ended up enjoying it a lot. One thing like like about Weir's characters is they work the problem. No magic, no dumb luck or coincidence, they do the math, solve the equations and save the day. The end was a bit anticlimactic but overall an excellent adventure. 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫

RamsFan1963 I'm looking forward to the discussion on #LitsySciFiBookClub at the end of October 2y
