August 10, 2025 Project Hail Mary (Caitlin’s Pick)

Discussion: Caitlin- I liked this book, however it made me feel dumb. Descriptions were too math heavy and too long. Lots of silly science stuff that didn’t make sense. Didn’t like the ending. WRTC/SWRA. 3.5/5. Fav- Rocky Jocelyn- This book has been on my list to read for so long. Couldn’t be more disappointed. Math talk was over the top. It made it hard to visualize. I preferred the Earth story to the space story. Had the been done before feeling. WNR/MRA. 2/5. Fav- Taumoeba Ali- I liked the book. Didn’t mind all the science talk cause I just skimmed over it. I liked the dialog between Grace and Rocky. Liked the Earth/Space story split. Didn’t mind the ending cause it wasn’t too happy. WR/MRA (if not in space). 3.5/5. Fav-Stratt and Rocky. Julie- Hated it! Did not want to read this. Had high hopes, but then it kept getting worse. Cheesy and dumb. Disappointing overall and the ending sealed the deal. WNR/WNRA (unless forced in club). 2/5. Fav- Stratt Balance $$$: $40.00. Everyone paid Next book- Solito by Javier Zomora 416pgs Next Club- September 14th @ Jocelyn’s House.
