project hail mary is so good wtf.

ahem. this is a book review, aka me rambling about a book i consumed at light speed because i loved it so much.

Official Title: "Project Hail Mary" by Andy Weir Just Made Me Cry On My Couch So Now I Must Speak About It

not spoiler free

first off the plot is insane. like, kudos to andy weir for thinking that. ALL THAT. holy SHIT.

second of all, let me talk about ryland grace as a character. he is SUCH a likeable main character it's insane. smart in unique ways, funny, Just Some Dude, a middle school teacher, an astrobiologist. a man who's not afraid to cry or show emotion. a man who is a cinnamon roll of an astronaut. He Is So Amazing And I Love Him

and how could i talk about grace without talking about rocky?? rocky... not going to lie i was very caught off guard when a sentient alien showed up, but he turned out to be so smart and adorable it killed me. also ERIDIANS SPEAK IN MUSICAL CHORDS. THATS SO COOL

(side not: eventually grace was able to tell what chords rocky was speaking without looking at his computer. what i'm saying is that grace basically developed perfect pitch to talk to aliens and i think that's cool of him. my musician heart approves.)

the sheer strength of the friendship between grace and rocky... like, the initial trust that neither will destroy each other, which moves to them working together as scientific partners and friends - best friends because grace has no one else.:. the instinct to protect each other... *screams because hope is real*

ASTROPHAGE. WHAT THE HELL. THEYRE SO COOL. i mean besides the fact that they were actively causing at least two apocalypses - as a concept, a microscopic object (even if it weren't a living thing) that absorbs THAT much energy is just an INSANE concept. and they make neutrinos. like the fucking sun. and they eat star radiation. what the fuck. thank you for the brain food, andy weir

screw stratt for literally jailing grace and sending him to space, however that does not disqualify her from badassery.

DMITRI IS AMAZING also briefly i thought him and grace had a thing. yeah i can't go five fucking minutes without seeing gay people but i don't care. i don't care. ryland grace is mildly bisexual. you hear me?

the hilarious russian people in this book sustained me

a s t ro p h a g e E A T S T A R S

grace's crewmates died but in that time he was alone he never lost hope. humans, huh? (i mean that's probably because he literally lost his entire memory and only recovered it in pieces, but still)

if this were a movie... i have no idea how they would pull that off

somehow this book was very high-stakes while being comforting at the same time?? like yes the ship failing and the taumeba and everything stressed me out, but also alien friends and earth friends. grace had friends in memory and a friend in real time

(his realization that eridians don't know about radiation or relativity... damn. they were living in the dark. but they were doing so quite literally, because they had no way of knowing what was out there. how did they make star maps????)

this book made me like humans a little more

anyway that's all i have to say, for now at least. PLEASE read this book if you like science fiction and little alien guys. (i mean if you read that sentence you've probably read the book, but. k i will stop typing now)

I have become a regular at the local cafe. I sit at the lunch counter with my laptop to write. The workers keep me updated on all the tea.

Barista: Oh god here he comes.

Me: who?

Barista: White Ferrari guy. Hes banned from the other cafe. All he ever does is tell the same stories about the pyramids. Or ghosts. Or his car. Don't make eye contact with him. If he talks to you he won't leave you alone- Hi hello welcome!

AAAAAAAAAA

IM GOING TO BE SO MAD IF SNIFFER LOSES THE MOB VOTE AND WE DON'T GET NEW PLANTS :(

NEW CROPS IN MINECRAFT????? NEW PLANTS????? YEEEESSSS
