In this episode of Books Around the Block, we’re talking all things Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. We break down the plot, favorite moments, big twists, and the science behind Ryland Grace’s mission, then give our honest ratings out of five stars.

We also share our thoughts on the upcoming movie adaptation and what we hope makes it from page to screen. Do we like Ryan Gosling as Ryland Grace? You'll see! If you love sci fi, space survival stories, or book club style discussions, this one is for you.
