Mark –
Having read The Martian by Andy Weir, I was keen to read more by him. I really enjoyed Artemis, found it very well written and compelling, but I should note that it’s a very different kind of book – more characters, more plot lines, more story, but at times it’s a bit more laboured than The Martian… It’s an interesting heist story set on the Moon, still filled with science, but overall not as good as The Martian to me. However, I still enjoyed reading it, and found the story and characters interesting enough to carry me along. Not as good as the Martian, but still a really good attempt.
