Project Hail Mary by Andy WeirMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
You've probably heard that this is a good book. Tons of Booktokers and Booktubers have all said so. They're so right. It's really good. I usually read a few pages a day from a book (well, 20--it's my normal chunk) but I read the whole thing in a couple days. It's the fastest I've read anything in ages, because it's too fun to set aside.
The world might be dying; a worldwide effort to crew a starship and find a solution sends our MC to one of the closer stars, where most of the story takes place. Like The Martian, this is both a hard science fiction book (with accurate physics and science in general) and very funny book (like a John Scalzi SF novel), but it's also about character and important themes and deep ideas.
And it's super fun.
No need for a synopsis with spoilers. You've probably either read the book or run across the spoilers already, but if not I'm not gonna mess with it. If you like reading books, especially science fiction, it's very unlikely you won't love this. Sweet, funny, tough, touching, exciting, terrifying--it's all in there. Too good a book not to give my highest recommendation.
