[Discussion] Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir (Spoilers)
(lemmy.world)
We are two weeks into the month of September now. I think this might be a reasonable amount of time for some readers to have completed this book if they started early this month. At least I finished it last week. I'll leave this thread pinned for the rest of the month and next weekend I'll create the poll for the next book of the month. That poll will end on the last day of the month and the cycle will continue.
Feel free to include as many spoilers as you want in your comments as the post itself is marked as containing spoilers.
I'm hoping someone else could get started or else I will have to. 😅

Well, for the majority of the book you've only got two characters and one of them is an alien so that does limit things a bit, but yeah despite touching on a lot of high-school science topics the premise of the book itself is pretty basic.
Still enjoyable, but not as deep/complex as say maybe something by Vinge, Tchaikovsky (the author, not the musician), or maybe Friedman.
TBF I cheated on this one and did it partly by audiobook while getting chores done. Porter does a pretty good job of conveying the emotions of the main character which IMO does add a bit to the engagement
