Andy Weir: Artemis (Hardcover, 2017, Crown)

JASMINE BASHARA never signed up to be a hero. She just wanted to get rich. …

Review of 'Artemis' on 'Goodreads'

Would have been four stars if not for the 7th grade-level sex humor. It really feels like Andy Weir thought having a female narrator gave him cover to write some pretty gross jokes. Like the “blow two at a time” joke or the fact that half the characters in the book find creative ways to call the main character a whore and her reply to one of the worst was props for a sick burn.

I also found it unnecessary to point out that a relationship with a 14 year old was consensual and therefore OK in this fictional world.

So: skip it unless you think it’s funny to call women whores or that the narrator (but not the author) being female is a good enough excuse.
