    This book was so good. It seems like the movie is taking forever, I can’t wait!

    Yay! I'm so glad you loved this one! It's one of my all time favorite books. I re-read it last summer when some of my teacher friends wanted to do a summer book club. Someone mentioned that book and I said I loved it and that I'd re-read it if they wanted to read it together. I still think I read the e-book the 2nd time, so I don't know about the audio version, but re-reading everyone's comments about it makes me want to listen to it next. :giggle. Yeah, when Rocky was talking in the ebook it just said "tones".

    I got tired of waiting for this one from the library and finally bought it on Audible a couple months ago. I really liked the story and enjoyed the book. I didn’t love the long science explanations though. I know that is sort of the author’s thing and others like it but not sure I’d read more by the same author. The movie sounds great!

    I have a feeling it's going to be everywhere in my feed until the movie finally comes out. :giggle


    Yes! If you're a read it before watching the movie person, you better get on it. :giggle


    I've heard that from other about the long explanations and totally get it. My guess is that will be drastically reduced in the movie too. :agree

    I read this years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. I also picked up and read The Martian and Artemis. I loved the movie The Martian with Matt Damen, so looking forward to the movie adaptation of Project Hail Mary.
