I have descended from my ivory tower and read a fiction book that was written in the 2000s…and I had such a fun time doing it! Andy Weir weaves science into his stories so well, and I loved the relationship between Grace and Rocky. Finally, as far as tropes go, humans and aliens trying to teach each other their respective languages is one of my favorites.
Literally just finished the audiobook version today for the 2nd time. I’d listened to it when it first came out and wanted to refresh my memory before the movie comes out next year!
I had forgotten a lot of the finer details particularly early on, but dam this is one of my favourite Ray Porter narrations, how he portrays Rocky and Grace is exceptional. Book had me in tears emotionally still at a few points
