Hello again! In a way, today was one of my more productive days, as I read a book vs. doomscrolling for hours upon hours. I was intending on reading a chapter or two of Project Hail Mary, but got so into it that I read the entire second half (Chapter 15 to the end) in a single sitting. So here’s a few thoughts I have had on the book.

One thing I adored about the book is the tension at the book’s climax. While I think it has a climax a little early (happening around Chapters 19 and 20), those two chapters are so intense that they are some of the finest parts of the book. It feels like everything is going wrong, and Grace and Rocky are frantically doing everything they can to get out of it. Speaking of Grace and Rocky, the buddy dynamic the two characters they have is another element of the book that I love. It both adds an emotional core to the book and allows for the occasionally comedic relief of tension, which I think really helped the book.

I will for sure write a much fuller review in the coming few days once I’ve had a bit more to sit on it, but I did really enjoy the book! You should read it! Have a fantastic rest of your day.
