Review: Project Hail Mary

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 out of 5 stars - If you ask, I'll tell you to read it

I really enjoyed this book. It was science, aliens, friendship, and intrigue all rolled into one!

The book is written in two different story lines that mostly alternate. There's the "before liftoff" memories and the "after awakening from a coma" story lines. Eventually they come together to learn about how it all came to be. Something is happening in space, and if Dr. Ryland Grace doesn't come through on this Hail Mary journey, Earth will enter another ice age and all life will probably perish.

The book kept me entertained and intrigued throughout. I got close to the end and I really wanted to know how it ended. I read through lunch and dinner just to finish and see how it ended. It didn't end how I expected at all, but that wasn't a good or bad thing (it was just different).

I also can say I learned some new science terms while reading this book. Thank you Kindle for having a dictionary built in!
