Customer Reviews

You'll love it even if you're not a fan of sci-fi

I'm not a huge fan of sci-fi. If I read sci-fi, it's the funny sort of sci-fi like Hitchhiker's Guide. This book had me rolling on the floor laughing. It's funny, cute, thought provoking, and the very science-y parts are well explained for the average layman to understand. I recommend this book to everyone I know, and so far everyone I know who has read it feels the same way. 10/10 would recommend.

Best book I have read all year

Project Hail Mary is a brilliant story. I am going to be vague because I do not want to accidentally spoil anything. This sci-fi adventure is structured in a way that provides information in bits that allows the reader to really invest in his position. While it has a lot of sci-fi technical info, the book provides it in a way that makes you feel like you now understand the use and function even if you are far from an astronaut. Not every book can make you really love the characters, Project Hail Mary will have you emotionally invested in every move they make. Full of humor in the same style as The Martian and one I have already read multiple times since it was released. It is good good good... worth every penny.

Absolutely incredible

This book is one of my all time favorites I cannot begin to describe how much I loved it. I thought the Martian was great but this is another level. Wow wow wow. I read it in one sitting and I just want to start over and read it all over again
