I'd give this book five stars if not for a few minor grievances, most of which have to do with characterization in the flashbacks. Weir is excellent at the science and the plot elements of writing. He's less accurate when it comes to writing convinci ...more

A very fast, easy read: sweet, if a bit predictable. The bad guy(s) is/are cartoonish at times, and the feminism does feel slightly modern for the time period, but I enjoyed the vibes and that this was a good palate cleanser between harder/more serio ...more

I much prefer Weir's other books. The plot of Artemis was fun and the worldbuilding was peak, but his attempt at a more diverse voice and cast of characters -- the POV character is an Arab woman who left Islam, and every single character is identifie ...more

A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor by Hank Green
Rate this book

I went back and forth between 3 and 4 stars, and erred on the side of positivity, though in my head this is a 3.5-star read.

Green is a great writer, but this book didn't feel as grounded as his first novel. Despite starting right where the last left

“Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?' In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.' Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself.”
