I recognized this author from “The Martian”. I’m not the biggest fan of sci-fi; I find it a bit far-fetched, no matter how realistic it seems. However, I enjoyed this book. It was fairly fast-paced, and the dialogue was quick and nice. I liked Rocky and his whole dynamic with Ryland. My least favorite part of every book is the beginning. Sometimes it takes me an embarrassing amount of time to get past the first chapter. But in this case, the start was pretty action-filled with our amnesiac main character on a random spaceship with an annoying robotic voice asking him math questions. In the end, I would honestly recommend this book; it’s not a heavy sci-fi book, and it’s pretty entertaining.
Incredible. Truly incredible. The worldbuilding in the story started slow, but it ultimately paid off thanks to the talent of writer Andy Weir, who skillfully aligned it with the character development. The plot follows an amazing scientist who challenges himself alongside his alien companion. Toward the end, the story forces the main character, initially portrayed as a coward, to turn around and save his companion and world, ultimately sacrificing himself. This transformation highlights how much Ryland Grace has grown throughout the story.
Overall, I thought that this is an excellent book. I liked how they had Dr. grace finish the story teaching again. Additionally, I liked how we learned about the situation as Dr. Grace remembers it. However, all the nations agreeing to give one person basically unlimited power to solve the crisis is a little unrealistic.
