Man, I had such a hard time with Hail Mary. I tried twice to get through the first two chapters, giving up each time out of frustration. When, under sustained pressure from a friend, I forced myself past that block, I mostly enjoyed the story, but got frustrated again near the end.

I think Weir just isn't an author for me.

Sorry; I was triggered by the graphic. It's not only not a "must read," but also one I wouldn't recommend. Although, I admit I'm in a minority, and most of my friends liked it. I absolutely loathed ASoFaI as a poorly disguised, worse knock-off of Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn, and it was hugely popular.

I've read project hail mary and totally get what you mean, though I did still enjoy it. I think it's decent soft sci-fi for people who don't typically dabble in the genre, but I had to go read an alastair reynolds book right after to cleanse my pallet.
