Laura's recommendation comes just in time for the cinema release of Project Hail Mary🚀
"I initially picked up Project Hail Mary on a whim in preparation for the film release, with sci-fi not being my preferred genre. However, this book surpassed all of my expectations in the best way possible. It was fun, emotional and intellectually stimulating at the same time! It really surprised me how much I loved this story, and how much I enjoyed the buddy comedy element through Ryland and Rocky’s friendship! The sci-fi elements were easy to follow for someone who feels out of their depth when it comes to science."
