I love how his books have general repeating themes with different stories. This was interesting all throughout. I understood the technical science information better after reading his other two books.
A Different Kind of Tale

By Paniolo Pete
I would call this book a departure from what Andy Weir has written before (The Martian, Project Hail Mary), and I’ve seen mixed reviews. It may not be for everyone, but I enjoyed the romp on the wilder side! Still with a solid science backbone, but more of a gritty “film noir” style that reminded me of Sam Spade stories. I would imagine Weir had fun writing it and gave him a change of pace as well.
Why do authors need to use blasphemy?

I seriously doubt anyone would put this book down or give it a bad review if it did not have any blasphemy. So, why add any at all. As rich and beautiful as the English language is, why resort to the seedy side of the dictionary. About 10% in and I had to stop. Totally unnecessary and very offensive. Pity.
Great book

Andy Weir is a great writer. I couldn’t wait to read this after work everyday.
Weird and Horny

Unbelievable story and character making decisions coupled with endless talk of sex and masturbating by the protagonist. Like, way too much to be believable- and it reflects more on who the writer is rather than the character or reader.
I really like The Martian and Project: Hail Mary, but this book is just terrible.

Andy’s writing is snappy and awesome as always. It felt a little similar to The Martian. Whichever one you read first will be preferred.
Easily my favourite active sci-fi author

If you're a fan of his other books, go into this one with lower expectations in terms of scale but optimism for a good time.
I loathed this book

By TigersJC86
I only read this book for the 372 pages we’ll never get back and it was a chore. First of all, the main character has not a likable trait about her. Seriously, I didn’t at any point root for this character and that’s a problem since the entire story is from her point of view. The story feels like something the writer came up with when he was 15 about his 13 year old sister. That’s the maturity level we are talking here. The jokes are plain stupid, the sarcasm which never ends was old after the 2nd chapter and I might never read another Andy Weir novel again
Ouch

Really poorly written personality characteristics for the female lead. I bought this book because I loved The Martian. I couldn’t finish this one. The book didn’t have a flow and this author has a much stronger sense of writing with a male lead. His female characters in this book were all written so terribly. Leaving this book unfinished halfway through and I’m going to try and forget it.
Awesome
