Reviews

[Michael · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very much enjoyed PHM. Fun sci-fi with a good dose of real-world science and heart. A buddy comedy, with the fate of two worlds at stake. Plot kept me guessing about what would happen next. Doesn't take itself too seriously but at times I found myself thinking about how we view ourselves as a people. How different things might be down here, if we all had the view from up there. Would recommend for anybody looking for a good time in outerspace. Stratt for president.

This is just for reading tracking purposes. Project Hail Mary.

will admit this book was a little out of my wheelhouse. It was written so well and detailed - which is why I was so disappointed by the ending. I had way too many questions after finishing - would have given this a solid 4, but would now say 3.5.

A reread made me like this more. A phenomenal audio book! Still a bit clunky but worth a reread for book club.

[Richard Bastian · Rating 5 out of 5]

wow, I haven't read as many books that suck you in so quickly, present such intense problems and force creative solutions. The relationships and sacrifices in this book are beautiful. the in depth sci Fi feels real enough to believe and very few moments broke me out of the story and back to reality.

[Danny Severe · Rating 3 out of 5]

I listened to the audio book and I don’t know if it was just the narrator that annoyed me but all of the dialogue seemed forced and unnatural. At times very cringy. I think the story itself is pretty good and I love the idea behind it. It seemed like he really did his homework. I really liked how logical and scientific it all seemed even if most of it was nonsense. It’s a good book, the dialogue just lacks for me.

[Gigi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Quite amusing sci-fi type of book about preventing the demise of the earth due to the declining heat from the sun.

[Lydia Granda · Rating 5 out of 5]

When I started this book I thought it could be a really boring read, I was so wrong, it was a can't put it down book. I listened to the audio version, really enjoyed the narrator, Ray Porter. It was interesting, eventful, suspenseful and the ending was not what I expected. Highly recommend this book.

[John Vidunas · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great hard fiction that has a lot of scientific principals driving the narrative. The main character Rowland Grace, an exacedamic, but now middle school science teacher, is chosen as the head scientist trying to understand an unthinking extraterrestrial threat to humanity. This book follows Rowland on an interstellar journey to save Earth at another solar system. All the while, he is regaining his memories after several years in a medically induced coma, waking up when his destination nears. The ending of the book really makes you question, if you have everything you need to be happy does it matter where you are or who you are with?

One positive about the book: great science and the authors onderstanding of all areas of STEM enhance the plot.

One negative about the book: Rowlands and Rocky's character could have been better developed because their personal feelings don't drive the plot and we don't get to know who they are as much as what they do.

[Nick Widger · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely loved it. I’m not used to really reading fiction but this was attention grabbing and kept me immersed for long periods of time. With that being said, the ending wasn’t what I had hoped for.


When Grace is choosing to go to Erid or Earth, I wish he would’ve chosen to go to Earth. All the flashbacks had me invested in his life at home and Erid was not of much interest to me. There were so many things I wish we learned (i.e the political climate on Earth, how many people died, if his students were okay, etc.) but we simply won’t know. Now, Grace is old and doesn’t seem interested in going back, in fact he is invested in a new life on Erid. This is kind of a disappointment in my mind.

Other than that, the book was absolutely fantastic. My only complaint is based off the fact that I was so interested in this book. 10/10 would recommend.

Dr. Ryland Grace was happy teaching junior high science until one day, people noticed that the sun was not shining as brightly and that the earth might die. Under strange circumstances, he was recruited to be part of a team to save the planet. Building a space station that could travel as far as it needed to go required a lot of accomplishment, and Dr. Grace was involved in every step. It was heady until it wasn't.

How could things have gone so wrong? The clock is ticking; he is alone in space, and Grace does not have all the abilities to accomplish all the tasks.

You will have to read about what happens next as it is so unbelievable, touching, scary, and educational. You will never have a better teacher than Dr. Ryland Grace to teach you what you need to know about space.

[Christine Howard · Rating 4 out of 5]

Although much of the physics and math went right over my head, the story is enchanting. The Earth is on the brink of becoming a frozen wasteland unless we halt the forces infecting our sun. Dr. Grace, a sixth-grade math teacher, is called into the project to save the Earth because of an offbeat paper he wrote in college. He joins the project and then finds himself in a spaceship traveling to another sun. He arrives to find an alien spaceship already orbiting. From here, the story becomes involved with communicating and working with the one alien left on the ship. In the end, he is again back teaching students math.

I read this book because my 15-year-old grandson recommended it.

[Penne Davis · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love Andy Weir & his style of writing & I didn’t think he could do better than The Martian but then along comes Project Hail Mary. if you love a good Sci Fi with an absolute banger of a mission to save earth then this is for you! Even if you don’t normally read Sci Fi you will enjoy this author. His stories are filled with science & humour & Alien Life Form, with so many laugh out loud moments. I have 2 new favourite literary characters, Dr Grace & yes I’m looking at you Rocky! Exceptionally well done 5 ⭐️

[Ashley Russo · Rating 5 out of 5]

I only read the hail Mary project so far. this was the book that got me back into reading after a while. SOO good. it kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I'm a science buff but I'm not that smart but the language he used helped me understand what was going on. I didn't feel lost in a sci Fi world but rather included to have me understand what it's really like out there. the ending was fabulous. I very much enjoyed the ending. get ready- it is an emotional rollercoaster! I did cry a couple times!

[Kathryn Atkins · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh. My. Gosh. I hesitated when I hefted this book with small writing and over 400 pages. HOWEVER, I am SO glad I read it. And I thought all of the science and technical stuff would be hard to follow for me when I'm not a scientist or an astronaut; but it added to the overall experience for sure.

NO SPOILERS HERE. Does Grace save Earth? I'm not telling.

Bottom line: I need to read some more of Andy's books.

[Alan James · Rating 5 out of 5]

In recent years the opportunity to read truly imaginative science fiction that is also hard-core seemed to have evaporated. Andy Wier, with this book, has shown, unequivocally, that this is not the case. This is a great story that is about as hard SF as anyone could want. Long may Andy Wier continue to write and give us gems like this. Thanks, Andy.

P.s. to say anything about the plot is to deny the pleasure of discovering it for oneself.

[Laura Emerson · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this one!! I can’t wait to also watch the movie and compare. I listened to this one on audio book as it’s a #1 on so many lists. I was not disappointed. I found myself immersed in the task to save earth and figure out why only only planet seems to be immune to Astrophage. I love the creature he meets Rocky and the little language and idiosyncrasies they have together. Ooooh and the ending so freaking sweet! Where do I even go from here it was so good!

[OKieDO · Rating 3 out of 5]

I love tech heavy fiction literature about military and sci fi topics, Tom Clancy and the like. As such The Martian was right in my wheelhouse. I was hoping for the same w/ “Project Hail Mary”. It did not quite deliver though. The set up was good but I found the story a bit beyond plausibility. Nevertheless it is well written and I was compelled to finish it, hoping to see a more satisfying conclusion than I got. Not wanting to give away any spoilers so just leave it at that.

[Carol · Rating 5 out of 5]

It took me a long time to finish this book because my husband and I listened to it together in the car. I couldn’t listen to it by myself and move faster. I’m also not a huge science fiction person. Any exposure I have to science fiction comes from husband. With that said, I enjoyed the book. Dr. Grace was an interesting character, and I enjoyed his character arc. I enjoyed the alien Rocky and found him enjoyable.

[Reader · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow, I loved this book. It is well written, the science is great and explained just enough to have imagery but not bogged down in details. The tension and relationship development is in such good balance! Plus the background info comes in at all the right places.
I love ROCKY! I want him for my friend too.
Great book to recommend for friends that love science fiction ❤️

[Andy · Rating 2 out of 5]

The science and the story are strong, but the dialogue is really hard to stand. The lead character has no one to return to on Earth—he’s not that likable. I thought the same of the guy in the Martian. Because of the compelling story, it’s a quick read but the day after, I found myself ambivalent about the time spent on this one.

[Mary Sidebotham · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read this book for book club - I actually listened to the audio book this is the first time I’ve ever read a science fiction book and I absolutely loved it - I think listening was good because I loved the voices and it made it more relatable somehow so a first and one I have recommended to others
Everyone at book club gave it a good rating too despite not really being familiar with the genre

[Linda Avellar · Rating 5 out of 5]

Project Hail Mary was a delight. I don't usually read a lot of science fiction but someone recommended it and the story was so compelling I couldn't put it down. A junior high science teacher saving Earth? Weir had me from the get go. And the main character has a wonderful, wry sense of humor even as he's up against some very long odds. I can't wait for the movie!

[Dot · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a well written novel. You’ll stay engaged at least until the last three chapters when you may “just want to know”. (Skip to last paragraph of said novel). Farther than any other book ever read (before I felt I HAD to look). Enjoy, I know I did.

[Karen Jaeckels · Rating 3 out of 5]

This read like the Dan Brown of space. I love the relationship of the two main characters, but a lot of scientific and mechanical details booged me down. We had a good discussion at book club and can't wait to see Ryan Gosling playing Ryland Grace.

[Jude · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read this book when was it was first published. I liked it a lot.
However,I loved the audiobook. I particularly loved the relationship between Rocky and Grace. Listening to all the science instead of reading it made it more accessible to me. Loved he narrator. Great ending.

[Vicki · Rating 4 out of 5]

I listened to the audible version of Project Hail Mary. The story and narrator were fabulous. For me though, it went on a bit too long. Too many near disasters that I lost interest in. But no doubt that could be a bonus for other “readers”. Even with that I thoroughly enjoyed the ride.

[Julie Shaffrey · Rating 4 out of 5]

Really loved this book. Unique. Great science as a lover of science. Very cool ideas and well thought out regarding science aspect. Loved the relationship between the two main characters. This book will stick with you

[Mike Shaughnessy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Totally enjoyed the conversations with ‘Rocky’, creative language sharing, wonderful physics, chemistry, and math conundrums for the two explorers to solve. Makes the reader ponder, could the world really unite to save itself? STEM nerds will really enjoy this book.

[Dan · Rating 5 out of 5]

It definitely kept my interest all the way to the end.
My wife and I read the book together, and we finished it very quickly - because we always wanted to know what would happen next.
We found it very enjoyable.

[Gwen Parker · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'm not a sci-fi person, but read this for a book club. It was very technical and "sciency," which are normally not my thing, but liked this one as honestly skimmed through some of the science, but found other parts very interesting. Liked the book a lot more than I thought I would!

[SJ Riggs · Rating 3 out of 5]

I trudged through this book. If not for the humor and relationship between the two main characters I couldn’t have done it. Lots and lots and lots of science!
