This is an incredibly good and engaging story. He found the right combination of fascinating science, problem-solving, and most importantly, humanity, and heart, similar to the Martian. It was what Artemis lacked. Note Andy Weir: no disrespect, but some men can write a female character as more than a 2-D posterboard, but a lot of men cannot. Please keep your characters in the gender that you can think in. This book was really hard to put down, incredibly creative, and amazing finish.

A nice follow up with characters I care about, gentle scholarly people with huge hearts and sharp minds. Fell in love with each again. Just lovely!

I know a lot of the story, but hearing some of the background about the decisions made, and the emotional atmosphere was very special

Not sure how this got so many great reviews. I tried to like it but the utter silliness and lack of emotional grounding just got me, There was not a single character that was not a cartoon and that got old quickly.

Very engaging storyline, clever and unexpected. Beautiful prose at times, and I loved the UK accents by the narrator. Enjoyed it a lot

Disappointing, abrupt ending. Made little sense. The medical scenes were laughable and idiotic . Unsure of the point unless it was to set up a sequo which I surely would not pay for

It was kind of hard to get through this. The main character is sort of a miserable person, which I guess is the point of the book, and I’m glad that she evolved, but she was just so unlikable from start to finish.

What an interesting few into the life of fine dining in New York! I learned a lot, was shocked, a lot, and really enjoyed the read. Can’t wait to try out the restaurant he just opened!

I thought this was really well done. Really character driven story, some magical, realism, and a lot of heart.
