Project Hail Mary - it’s always getting so much hype so I thought I’d enjoy it. The plot is interesting for sure, but Andy Weir’s writing is pretty awful and his characters are one-dimensional at best. If you want a storyline that moves along and you’re not too fussed about the improbable science, then go for it but maybe don’t spend your hard-earned dollars on it. It’s a good one to borrow from the library. (The audiobook and narrator also get a lot of love on Reddit but, once again, I didn’t love it. That being said, it was easier to listen to the audiobook than to read it. Don’t ask me why I tortured myself with both. Guess I was trying to understand why others loved it so much. To each his/her own, right?)

I didn’t love it either and this is the book I use as an example for falling short of expectations. I HATED the way the main character was written. Even on the first page I was immediately rolling my eyes. It’s an unpopular opinion since the book gets so much praise but it just didn’t do it for me
