## Description

Project Hail Mary: The Sunday Times bestseller from the author of The Martian : Weir, Andy: desertcart.in: Books

Review: "An Epic Sci-Fi Adventure with Heart, Humor, and Brilliance" - Project Hail Mary is one of the most gripping, emotionally satisfying, and cleverly written sci-fi novels I’ve ever read. From the very first page, I was hooked by the mystery and momentum—and it never let go. The story blends science, survival, and humor with perfection. The pacing is spot-on: never slow, never rushed. Just like The Martian, Andy Weir’s signature wit shines through, but here he adds a surprising amount of heart and emotional depth—especially in the bond between the characters. The climax is absolutely epic, and the conclusion left me stunned in the best way. It’s not just a great sci-fi story—it’s a celebration of friendship, sacrifice, and problem-solving at the edge of the universe. If you want a book that makes you laugh, think, and maybe even tear up a little—this is it. A modern sci-fi classic.
Review: This is how all science fiction should be written - Excellent story with unexpected twists and turns. The writing is simple and easy to follow. Andy Weir’s scientific rigor in the world building and in his character’s problem solving is impressive. This book will make you laugh, cry, think and learn at the same time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Complicated yet entertaining
*by R***. on 2 January 2022*

<b><u> WHAT I LIKED </b></u> As science fiction goes , I dare say , very few write plausible science in their fiction as Andy Weir does . <i>The Martian</i> comprised of a story that felt completely feasible , Project Hail Mary has some elements that want you to allow some far-fetched ideas into your logic , but overall the book delivers a strong and apparent plausible tale The book has a dual time line description throughout and it serves a wonderful purpose of delivering the thrills and hence making both timelines appealing, the characters , who initially feel one dimensional, really benefit from these timelines as their morality and their drive is revealed with each new timeline reveal There are 3 aliens in this book , and each one is created with a splendid concept ,making them unique but also sharing similarities , in turn there was also the concept of language , communicating, ecology and biology that were present with great intelligence But a Sci-fi book is made up of 2 parts science and fiction and while there's no doubt excellent science involved the fiction isn't too bad either , in fact the fiction is so good that it keeps you on the edge of your seat all the time , with a lot of thrills , suspense and unseen revelations <b><u> WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE:</b></u> My main issue with this book is however a bit unfair , my main issue is that the main character isn't Mark Whatney from the Martian, and this book is no way near as funny as The Martian , I know it's wrong of me to compare the two books but both were written by the same man and share some similarities , but where Mark was a sarcastic jolly dude , Grace feels like the guy who relies on Dad jokes to come across as funny and honestly Grace wasn't charming at all he was just filled with cheesy lines and fake machismo. There is also a lack of empathy for the characters I couldn't relate to their sense of impending doom and their demise wouldn't feel sorrowful to me .Part of it is because of the science involved, it feels plausible but most tines it's too difficult to grasp, the science feels way too advanced and sometimes even multiple re reads don't make it easier . <b><u>Conclusion:</b></u> It's a fast paced fun science fiction with action aplenty and thrills throughout only bogged down by complicated science stuff which makes the book a difficult read . But honest to go it's a massive upgrade to 90%of science fiction out there
