Project Hail Mary: From the bestselling author of The Martian Paperback – 27 May 2021

It is a very nice book also the story is gripping. A must read if you like sci-fi.

"Project Hail Mary" is a captivating blend of science fiction and human drama. The story is structured with a seamless flow between flashbacks and the present, which adds depth to the narrative and keeps the reader engaged. It helps unravel the mystery around the protagonist Ryland Grace's mission.I initially felt uncertain about how to relate to this non-human character when Rocky is introduced. I think I was hoping for a more human-like alien, perhaps even expecting a storyline where Grace might form a romantic attachment to a female alien character. This, in hindsight, was a naive and very predictable assumption. Rocky's distinct personality, culture, and appearance were initially challenging to relate to, but as the story progressed, I found myself growing deeply attached to both Grace and Rocky. Their relationship is the highlight of the book, showcasing a beautiful, unconventional bond based on mutual respect and understanding.The ending is both heartwarming and bittersweet. Without delving into spoilers, it left me reflecting on the themes of sacrifice, friendship, and the lengths some individuals will go to for the greater good of society. The story beautifully illustrates how some people dedicate their entire lives to science and the betterment of others, a message that resonates profoundly in today's world.Overall, it was a thought-provoking and emotionally resonant read that I highly recommend.

Book is in good condition but there are way too many crease

Just loved it … great page turner

HEAR ME OUT, WHEN I SAY THAT THIS BOOK IS OF AUTHOR NAMED BY ANDY WEIR, ITS GONNA BE DAMN GOOD!!! I'M TELLING YOU, TRY IT!!!1) Best sci fi2)Best plot twists3) Fast pacedWhat else do you want from a novel?!

Amazing Story

Really really really amazingggggggg book. If you love sci-fi, then it's a must and you'll love it.

<b><u> WHAT I LIKED </b></u>As science fiction goes , I dare say , very few write plausible science in their fiction as Andy Weir does . <i>The Martian</i> comprised of a story that felt completely feasible , Project Hail Mary has some elements that want you to allow some far-fetched ideas into your logic , but overall the book delivers a strong and apparent plausible taleThe book has a dual time line description throughout and it serves a wonderful purpose of delivering the thrills and hence making both timelines appealing, the characters , who initially feel one dimensional, really benefit from these timelines as their morality and their drive is revealed with each new timeline revealThere are 3 aliens in this book , and each one is created with a splendid concept ,making them unique but also sharing similarities , in turn there was also the concept of language , communicating, ecology and biology that were present with great intelligenceBut a Sci-fi book is made up of 2 parts science and fiction and while there's no doubt excellent science involved the fiction isn't too bad either , in fact the fiction is so good that it keeps you on the edge of your seat all the time , with a lot of thrills , suspense and unseen revelations<b><u> WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE:</b></u>My main issue with this book is however a bit unfair , my main issue is that the main character isn't Mark Whatney from the Martian, and this book is no way near as funny as The Martian , I know it's wrong of me to compare the two books but both were written by the same man and share some similarities , but where Mark was a sarcastic jolly dude , Grace feels like the guy who relies on Dad jokes to come across as funny and honestly Grace wasn't charming at all he was just filled with cheesy lines and fake machismo.There is also a lack of empathy for the characters I couldn't relate to their sense of impending doom and their demise wouldn't feel sorrowful to me .Part of it is because of the science involved, it feels plausible but most tines it's too difficult to grasp, the science feels way too advanced and sometimes even multiple re reads don't make it easier .<b><u>Conclusion:</b></u>It's a fast paced fun science fiction with action aplenty and thrills throughout only bogged down by complicated science stuff which makes the book a difficult read . But honest to go it's a massive upgrade to 90%of science fiction out there

Incredible adventure in space. Interesting from the first page till the last. And with kind of happy ending. A lot of physic stuff, but still easy to read.

Mir gefällt das Buch. Interessante Handlung, coole Ideen und flüssig geschrieben. Keine Weltliteratur, aber wirklich gute Unterhaltung. Wer den Marsianer gut fand, der wird auch dieses Buch mögen. Ich lese das Buch in englischer Sprache. Das Niveau ist so, dass man es mit einem B2 Level gut versteht.

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.
