Mini review: “Project Hail Mary” by Andy Weir (audiobook edition)
I enjoyed The Martian a lot – both the book and the film – but this is better. The ideas are great, the science is convincing (to my untrained ear), the humour dry and the plot is expertly paced.
The narration of the main character is pitch-perfect. The success rate with other accents varies, but I would recommend the audiobook over reading the book. This is an excellent example of where the use of sound can enhance the story telling experience.
If you are a fan of science fiction, especially hard science fiction, I recommend this book without hesitation. You are in for a treat.
