[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. 😅

Project Hail Mary is such a better book than Artemis.
The theory that he was under pressure to publish his 2nd book after the success of The Martian, so he just put out Artemis may hold water. Lol
I actually enjoyed Artemis. Its nowhere near The Martian, but still a good book in its own right.
I'll add some Artemis love here. I was disappointed by the comparably lower success because I was very ready for a sequel. I loved the dynamic that was established between the main character and the ruler of Artemis - it kind of reminded me of Vimes and Vetinari. I do feel that Hail Mary was better though.
The line that really made me laugh from Artemis is one of the last where the director says "and if you want to make babies, somebodys gotta get fucked". I love how Andy just throws shit like that in his books. A mayor may think that, but they arent supposed to say it.
