レビュー

• Pretty good !

  Inspiring novel overall. A wholesome and positive take to meeting alien life, which is a great change from the usual adversarial trope of hostile alien. Binge read it in 2 or 3 days. Would recommend the book over the movie because a lot of plot points were glossed over in the latter, so the book covers more ground. It also makes us spend more time with the characters, and more immersed in the head of the main character, given the first person-based narration. I got more attached and the payoff of the intrigue was much greater.

• 映画と一緒に楽しめる

  SFに苦手意識がある私でも最初からずっとハラハラどきどき。 重いテーマがあるのに軽やかに進むので気楽に読めて、最後にホロリ。これで泣くなんて想定外だよ！ 物理や生物の専門知識はないけれど、著者が裏付けを積み上げる感じが伝わり好印象ストーリーの面白さだけでなく、科学パートを「一緒に考えながら読む」感覚も楽しい。 専門用語が理解できなくても、一つずつ丁寧に進んでいくので、置いていかれる不安はなかった。 英語は一部の科学の語彙を除けば平易で、日本語訳も原作の軽やかな雰囲気をよく再現している。会話が多い作品だが、相手が相手だけに英語学習の教材としては参考にならない部分もある。ただ、何もかも異なる存在との対話や信頼構築のプロセスには発見がある。 さらに、主人公の思考プロセスも魅力。専門外の分野にも向き合い、問題をどう分解するか、限られた資源でどう解決策を組み立てるかを意識し、仮説 → 実験 → 失敗 → 修正を繰り返していく姿は応援したくなる。このサイクルは、自分自身の問題解決にも役に立ちそう。 読後に映画の予告編を見たが、これは明確に言える。原作をこれから読む人は予告編を観ちゃダメ！途中まではすごく良かったのに。物語の核心へ踏み込んでしまっている部分が多く、初読の楽しみを奪いかねない。原作をじっくり味わいたい人は、読了後に観るのが安全。

• 原作と映画で二度面白い

  以前audibleで聴いてすっごく面白かったので映画を観に行きました。 映画は結構端折ってあったり、上手く設定をいじっていて似て非なるものでしたがとても良くできたSF映画でした！面白くて2回観ました！ また読みたくなったので今度はkindleで購入しました。 やっぱり面白い！ 翻訳本もいずれ読みたいなと思いました。

• Amazing!

  かなりの本格SFで数学、物理、生物の用語がバンバン出て来ます。でも英語はそんなに難しくなかったと思います。 様々なトラブルに見舞われますが、科学的に解決する姿勢が素晴らしいです。感動的なラストシーンも見事でした。

• Andy Weir’s latest novel continues a theme of blending scientific knowledge to solve problems and the perils of outer space exploration. In this tale, a middle-school science teacher, Ryland Grace, is faced with a seemingly insurmountable task, saving earth from a cooling sun. Long before he became a science teacher, he wrote a paper about the possibility of the existence of life forms that don’t need water to survive. At the time, his analysis was widely rejected and ridiculed. Now, because it appears that life forms are responsible for draining the sun, he has become a visionary and is tasked with working with a group of international scientists to find a solution for a what could be a global catastrophe. Through scientific experiments, Grace and his team determine that the microscopic organisms he calls “astrophages” are a threat to humankind and must be stopped. But how? After a series of tragedies and misadventures, Grace wakes up years later in a space-craft. His memory slowly returns as he has been placed in an induced coma with robots and computers tending his biological functions. The most incredible and fantastic event occurs when he meets another being with the same objective he has. The story goes back and forth in time showing how Grace ended up in the space-craft and his current dilemma of finding a way of counteracting the astrophages. The novel incorporates a wealth of scientific knowledge along with generously placed doses of humor. This is a book that will appeal to a wide readership, from teens interested in science, to adults intrigued by sci-fi and adventure. It’s a satisfying and enjoyable read and creates a feeling of wonder.

• Project Hail Mary is one of the best hooks I’ve read in a while. Not only is it easy to read and understand but it breaks down complex situations making them interesting. It is a gripping tale of friendship, hope and sacrifice. A must read for everyone.

• I absolutely adored PHM. It has everything: adventure, humanity, encounters with alien life forms, suspense, science, and, yes, emotion. I was in awe of the book. What a story. A rather ordinary science teacher is sent to a distant star to save planet Earth and meets an alien, Rocky, who is trying to save his own planet. A beautiful friendship blossoms between the teacher and the alien. It's such a beautiful story. Not a scientific person myself, I wasn't in the least put off by the science in the book. In fact, it's wondrous. This will stay with me for a long time. A truc sci-fi masterpiece and a great story, whether you like the genre or not.

• Great book finish reading 4 times, and decided to support the author with a hardcover copy, recieved in great condition in a nice little amazon box.

• Weir yine bilimsel detaylar, denklemler, hesaplar vererek harika bir kurgu yazmış. Bitireli baya oldu hala daha üzerine düşündüğüm bir kitap.
