Audio Review From Me
Project Hail Mary: A Novel by Andy Weir.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This took me five weeks to listen to because I listen to it along with my husband as a “buddy read“ when I would be at work. I will not give out any spoilers. I am definitely not a sci-fi reader. My husband and I decided to listen to the audio version instead of physically reading the book. So he gifted me the Audible with his subscription of project Hail Mary. I will definitely say this about the narration, probably one of the best narrators I’ve ever heard of an audible Reader for a book since my husband uses this service more than I do. If I listen to books or listen and read books together, it’s usually via Libby or I get them off Apple/iTunes. My husband loves his audible subscription and keeps that up but this particular narrator for project Hail Mary, definitely kept me interested in the storyline and we looked forward to it on our weekend cleans because I’m a cleaning lady. If you’re really not a sci-fi reader like me, I do recommend this book whether you decide to read it, listen to it via Audible or however you can do your books via Libby or through Apple/iTunes the narrator alone makes this story. It makes you want to root for the characters which I did and yes I did cry.
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission—and if he fails, humanity and the earth itself will perish.
Except that right now, he doesn’t know that. He can’t even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it.
All he knows is that he’s been asleep for a very, very long time. And he’s just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.
His crewmates dead, his memories fuzzily returning, Ryland realizes that an impossible task now confronts him. Hurtling through space on this tiny ship, it’s up to him to puzzle out an impossible scientific mystery—and conquer an extinction-level threat to our species.
And with the clock ticking down and the nearest human being light-years away, he’s got to do it all alone.
Or does he?
An irresistible interstellar adventure as only Andy Weir could deliver, Project Hail Mary is a tale of discovery, speculation, and survival to rival The Martian—while taking us to places it never dreamed of going.
