This series has been like a Bell Curve for me. Subpar beginning and ending with a bombastic middle section. At one point, it felt like the climax would be interesting. However, it fell flat terribly for me :(

This one series is still hitting all the right notes for me! It is such a beautiful narrative and when paired with this unique-looking artwork (and beautiful obviously) it is a feast I devour through!

I started reading Project Hail Mary buying into its hype. I am happy to report that, unlike most hyped things, it did not fail to deliver. It gripped my attention to the very end, finishing on a satisfying note. So, yes, it's a "go read please" from my side if anyone is asking.
Character-wise, PHM (I am not writing Project Hail Mary repeatedly!) is a story revolving mainly around two characters: Dr. Ryland Grace, a researcher turned high school teacher, and Rocky—yes, you read it right, it's just "Rocky"! There are some minor characters here and there, but mostly it's a two-character story. But don't let that fool you, it's not boring in any sense.
The plot follows Dr. Grace at two points in his life in parallel. He wakes up inside PHM (a spaceship in deep space) without any memory of how he got there. As …

The plot follows Dr. Grace at two points in his life in parallel. He wakes up inside PHM (a spaceship in deep space) without any memory of how he got there. As if that wasn't enough, he finds two dead people beside him, whom he senses he knew at one point in life but can't remember how! From there on, the story picks up, illustrating how he tries to work around this situation and remembers how he got there in the first place. As readers, we get to know important pieces of information at the same time Grace himself remembers them. Although not new, I think this style of unfolding the story worked very well here. Since the protagonist and we are exposed to important plot points at the same time, it makes a big splash and we can empathize with him easily.
The presentation is so very realistic. All the scientific stuff is explained and portrayed believably. Not even once did I feel that I was reading some made-up mumbo jumbo even though the plot is so outlandish!
I loved [a:Andy Weir|6540057|Andy Weir|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1382592903p2/6540057.jpg]'s first book, [b:The Martian|18007564|The Martian|Andy Weir|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1413706054l/18007564.SY75.jpg|21825181], very much, so I had some expectations for this one. And I think you can guess by now that I was not disappointed in any way!
