A Goodreads user asked this question about Project Hail Mary:
How is the language/swearing in this book? His second book was so filled bad language that I had to stop reading it.
Daniel Linnell As for the book, it is pretty benign and can be tolerated by most I bet. It's also a brilliant book in my opinion. I loved it.

As for the book, it is pretty benign and can be tolerated by most I bet. It's also a brilliant book in my opinion. I loved it.

As for the toxic comments, live and let live people. Why the need to make someone feel like an idiot for not wanting to read something? It's not like the question called for censorship! I personally don't ever stop reading or watching anything due to content, but to each their own.

As a parent, I didn't allow my avid reader daughter to read The Martian due to language. I think it's tacky when I come across someone that can't finish a sentence without a swear word, and I certainly don't want to raise kids that speak that way.(less)
