This, sadly, did not live up to my expectations.
I LOVED The Martian and expected to feel the same way about this book. Unfortunately, I did not like the main character as much. He'a still a good guy, but some of the remarks he kept making about him being American and not using the metric system sometimes and him being ‘not like other teachers' was pretty annoying. (This is coming from a teacher.)
Halfway through the book Weir also repeated himself quite a lot. The book was just a bit too long.
Negative things aside, the book was still a lot of fun to read and once again a unique concept. I am Rocky's number one fan. I would do anything for that weird, little creature. It also reads very easily, even if you know nothing about science, like me.
It doesn't feel right to give this book anything less than 4 stars, so, even though I had my irritations and this this book could be edited a bit more, 4 stars it is
Maybe I will love Artemis more :)
