hahah, I had forgotten about that interaction. Rocky and Grace's interactions were just so wholesome.
jazz hands!
I love love love PHM. Still trying to get my wife to read it...
Oh I've been there. Finally convinced my wife and it became a favorite of hers!
Great book! Still the only one of his that I've read. I should really pick up The Martian.. Project Hail Mary felt to me like a better version of old Michael Crichton books.
I just finished it last week and concur. It's so well done. And I absolutely love Rocky. As you should. As everyone should.
I get excited every time I hear about someone picking up PHM. It makes me want to read it again (I've read it twice so far). Thanks for sharing.
I do most my reading by listening as well and the audiobook to this was great! Really enjoyed it.
Just started it yesterday after seeing it mentioned a bit lately.
I'm about halfway through, quite entertaining. I saw it's going to be adapted to a movie.
I preferred the audiobook as well. Rocky speaks in music, and hearing his dialogue rather than reading it was more effective in my opinion.
I enjoyed reading this, about the same as The Martian, but something about his writing style just irks me. I think possibly it's that he actually doesn't use enough words in places, and I need more description to go with the action. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's a bad book or anything like that, I just wanted there to be a bit more meat in it.
I am one of the few that didn't get this book at all. I thought The Martian was fantastic, but was annoyed at myself for persevering to finish this one.
