Is this your first time reading this?It is such a good book!
I loved the audio of this! My husband is not a huge reader, but he read the book. I had him listen to the last few chapters and he said he was sorry he didn't listen to it instead of reading it.
I totally agree with your spoiler, BC!

Yes .. first time. But I may re-read it at some point.

It is one of those books that I will remember from the sheer joy of reading it.
The audio is absolutely brilliant! Neat story. I really loved The Martian too. I have yet to read Artemis but a couple of reviews this month have piqued my interest in it again
So glad you loved it too!
Project Hail Mary – Andy Weir
Book on CD performed by Ray Porter
5***** and a ❤
Earth is threatened with an extinction-level event. Ryland Grace is one of three astronauts selected to go on a mission to solve the problem and save earth. But when Grace awakens from the medically induced coma he and his crewmates have been put into to begin the trip, he discovers that he is alone. He also has amnesia and it takes him a while to figure out where he is and why he is there. Now it’s up to Grace, alone, to save Earth. Or is it?
Damn, but Weir can write a compelling story! I absolutely loved this. Yes, there is a lot of science and math, and my 60+-year-old memory of some of these subjects was sorely tested. But I didn’t care. I loved this book. And I absolutely loved (view spoiler)[Rocky! What a marvelous character! And I thought the ending was just perfect. (hide spoiler)]
The book jacket promises “an irresistible interstellar adventure” and that is exactly what Weir delivers.
Ray Porter does a marvelous job of narrating the audiobook. But he gets significant help from the producer who added marvelous sound effects (something that usually irritates me, but which were absolutely necessary for this book).
