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.
Haha, I enjoyed the book overall but definitely found the style of comedy very grating. It’s what I call “holds up spork” comedy. Very jarring overall considering the extremely high stakes presented in the novel.
