      • 1 Star/Did Not Finish1 Star reads and books I didn’t finish. I use this for books I couldn’t finish. If I finished a book, it meant it was passable at least so deserves an extra star! It is very rare that I need to do this, I’m good at knowing my own taste. Usually if  a book got this rating I’d made a miscalculation when I picked it up! I have a whole post about how I rate books and my reading preferences.
      • 2 Stars2 out of 5 star  book reviews. I finished the book but it felt like a struggle, and I probably ended up skim reading a lot of it just to get though the thing. I have a whole post about how I rate books and my reading preferences.
      • 3 Stars3 out of 5 star book reviews. These are middle-of-the-road books. Nothing that got me excited, but they were fine and I probably had a good time reading most of it. I have a whole post about how I rate books and my reading preferences.
      • 4 Stars4 out of 5 star book reviews. I had a good time reading it, I felt like I got something out of the experience and I’d recommend it to other people. I have a whole post about how I rate books and my reading preferences.
      • 5 Stars5 out of 5 star book reviews. I got super excited about it! I’ll buy a hard copy for my library, and I’ll likely read it again. Sometimes for these books, I’ll write up a longer review with analysis. I have a whole post about how I rate books and my reading preferences.

Science Fiction

Home » Science Fiction » Page 4
Project Hail Mary by Andy Wier Mini Review 4 of 5 stars Genre: Sci-Fi Positives: + Entertaining, Easy reading. + Plot is packed with twists and turns that keep things interesting. I won’t say more to avoid spoilers! Negatives: - Way too much hard science for me. - I found the main character a little grating. - All characters either share the same personality or are a thin stereotype.

Entertaining with some good twists and turns, but way too much maths! So. Much. Maths. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 Stars
