So when I first picked up Project Hail Mary, I was expecting something along the same lines. And I admired him for this, as this balance is much more difficult to get right than you think. While I was not as big a fan of Andy Weir’s The Martian as most people I knew, I did appreciate that Weir managed to strike a balance between the details and story telling in a rather charismatic way. One of my main complaints about this subset of Sci Fi is balance all too often there is so much focus is given to the little details that the other aspects of storytelling are left by the wayside. I have a confession to make: while I am a huge Sci Fi nerd, I have never been a super-big fan of the ‘harder’ branches of the genre.
It probably won’t be a huge deal as this book has been out a while, and I suspect most people are probably already conscious of the little point I want to reveal, even if they haven’t read the book. I have tried not to explain too much beyond the blurb in this review, but I don’t think I can talk about Project Hail Mary properly without pulling back the curtain-just a little-on one of the major plot points.
