Amazing!. I promised myself to read more and this being the first book I’ve read really motivated me to read more. The entire story, the way the characters talked, and the DETAIL! Perfection! Everything about this story had me on edge and excited for the next part. Five stars isnt even enough to rate this book!

AAA. A great read.

Great. A very fun read. It made me feel like I live on the moon.

Just okay. Unrelatable characters, predictable plot, forced science, and an even more forced romance tossed in as an afterthought! She’s smart because she just is! She gets the guy because she just does! The worst part for me, though, was the completely unrelated chain of emails, spread throughout the book, that could not possibly qualify as a sub-plot yet ended up having almost nothing to do with the main story either. The best thing I can say about this book is I finished it.

Wow. Not good.. I would recommend fans of The Martian to stay away. This is not a good book and feels like it’s written for a movie more than anything.

Please write more, Mr. Weir!. “Artemis” by Andy Weir. This is Andy Weir’s 2nd novel which I happily found out I’d missed when I read his 3rd recently. I loved this story as much as the other 2 of his that I have read. A third hit! I love his storytelling! “Artemis” describes a city on the moon and from there is more crime drama or mystery/thriller over science fiction. Andy Weir’s characters are very lovable, even though the main character in this story was not so much at first. She comes around though and I found myself cheering for her success to save everyone. The descriptions of the settings in the story reminded me a lot of Robert Heinlein’s “The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.” Both writers seemed to have similar visions of lunar cities based on the particulars of what humans would need to survive such conditions. I guess there are only a few ways to go to supply breathable air, water, food, and industry in the city to make having it make sense in the first place. Mr. Weir branched out from his science fiction base to ideas on politics and economics. Very interesting and the story was page-turningly exciting. I can’t wait for Andy Weir to write more.

Good book! Highly recommend!. This book is very fascinating and I don’t want to give away spoilers so I won’t give any details but I’ll just say that Jazz is a very eye-catching character along with the other characters in this story. No problems at all. I read it in 3 days-that’s how good it was. I very much recommend that you get Artemis.

Another solid read…. Similar to The Martian, well-written, entertaining, and humorous. Weir does a great job of breaking physics and chemistry down for the lay person.

A pressure dome of fun. Very well written.Its as much fun as “The Martian “,hell it is more fun.I know jazz is supposed to be of Arabian decent,I just couldn’t help myself from imagining jen Lawrence from speaking those words.she’d be great in the role for the film!

Action, comedy and crime. Just what I needed to get back into reading for pleasure after a break. The main character is perfectly flawed. The story is compelling. And I love “hard” SiFi.

Ugh.... This book is just awful.

Ouch. Really poorly written personality characteristics for the female lead. I bought this book because I loved The Martian. I couldn’t finish this one. The book didn’t have a flow and this author has a much stronger sense of writing with a male lead. His female characters in this book were all written so terribly. Leaving this book unfinished halfway through and I’m going to try and forget it.

Creative and fun. I love the way his mind works and how he creates. Fun read.

A fun and interesting read. This book was more lighthearted, but no less science-based than “The Martian.”

Pablum. What a let down.

Not bad. The first one was better, the Apollo 13 of mars. This one had its moments, but since the trials to overcome were mixed with technical and personal ones, it didn’t flow as smoothly. It wanted to be the Maltese falcon on the moon but kept getting distracted by technical problems the lead character faced.

This is a great one!. I thoroughly enjoy everything about this book!!!!! Rich plot line and engrossing story- didn’t want to see it end

I loathed this book. I only read this book for the 372 pages we’ll never get back and it was a chore. First of all, the main character has not a likable trait about her. Seriously, I didn’t at any point root for this character and that’s a problem since the entire story is from her point of view. The story feels like something the writer came up with when he was 15 about his 13 year old sister. That’s the maturity level we are talking here. The jokes are plain stupid, the sarcasm which never ends was old after the 2nd chapter and I might never read another Andy Weir novel again

Loved it. If you loved The Martian then you can expect this to be a hit. The level of technical detail in his writing is what brings me back. And what’s not to love about a story based in a futuristic moon colony?

Best Author, exciting story. Andy Weir has quickly become my favorite author. His ability to capture a characters struggles, thoughts and realism keeps you reading because it feels genuinely real. His stories are always exciting and never disappoint. I am so impressed by the level of planning and details that he manages to include in all his stories. Can’t wait to read more by him.

Simply awful. While understanding that commercialization window open with the Martian is not infinite, the author should be embarrassed to put out this kind of drivel.

Weird and Horny. Unbelievable story and character making decisions coupled with endless talk of sex and masturbating by the protagonist. Like, way too much to be believable- and it reflects more on who the writer is rather than the character or reader. I really like The Martian and Project: Hail Mary, but this book is just terrible.

Great book! Don’t listen to the haters.. This is an excellent book that shows the same depths as the Martian with a fun story about a fictional city on the moon. Reading other reviews it’s funny to see all the wanna be literary critics who can barely write a review trying to discredit this novel. It’s a fun enjoyable novel that incorporates a good amount of science that makes the reader think.

Quick fun and detailed. A great caper told from the instigator’s perspective as a strong resourceful female. Excellent story!

Amazing. Long story short, I was trying to fix my sleeping schedule n decided to read this throughout the night. Ended up reading like 1/2 or 2/3 of it in one go. And it was so goddam good. Jazz is one of my favorite characters period. And the word of Artemis is so thorough and thought out that it comes to life. I enjoyed all the characters in it, even the “bad” characters. Loved all the references too (even though some I didn’t get). Really good humor and very interesting story. Highly recommended.

Excellent Read. Fun, lite, fast paced - little science thrown in for good measure.

Fun world, likable characters, interesting science. Is it as good as the Martian? No. Did I still love it? Yes. I read it in two sittings. Aside from the humor, it is pretty different from The Martian since it’s not about survival but more of a heist story, but like I said it’s still great.

Light & Fun. If you're a fan of his other books, go into this one with lower expectations in terms of scale but optimism for a good time.

Such a thrilling read!. Huge fan of Andy since the Martian days, and I was worried Artemis wouldn’t live up to its predecessor. Boy, I was so happy to find out my fears were unfounded. While the theme of space is identical to the Martian, the story is fresh and just as thrilling. I highly recommend anyone who became lost in the pages of the Martian to pick up a copy of Artemis!

Martian on the Moon. Andy’s writing is snappy and awesome as always. It felt a little similar to The Martian. Whichever one you read first will be preferred. Easily my favourite active sci-fi author

A little forced. There was an attempt at creating a depth of character in the protagonist but it falls just a smidge short

Good quick read. I found this book quite enjoyable, great read and moves fast... missed plenty of bus stops while reading it.

Great read. This book was extremely entertaining!! A fantastic read that you just don't want to put down. Great follow up to "The Martian"

Loved it!. I actually wasn’t expecting it to be as engrossing as it was but I laughed out loud several times and couldn’t put it down. Keep em coming Andy!

Artemis is a great read. Could not put it down. It’s a great read.

Entertaining. Good, yet not even close to "The Martian" level.

Artemis. What a major, disappointing follow-up to The Martian. This is a Hollywood movie script masquerading as a novel, and a weak one at that. Silly cat and mouse story laden with way too many unnecessary technical details. Don’t waste your time. Andy Weir can do better.

Flawed but enjoyable. Stronger writing than Weir’s first outing in The Martian, with impeccable speculative science fiction. But he’s still an enthusiast more than a novelist, and this book should be regarded primarily as a (worthwhile, excellent) piece of well structured science communication for anyone interested in the practical nuts & bolts realities of lunar colonies. Did you ever wish 2001: A Space Odyssey had spent even more time on worldbuilding its depiction of routinized space station hotels and livable gravity centrifuges? This is the book for you. The story is a lovely swashbuckling heist, with the expected Weirian knack for making airlocks-and-EVA-suits life or death drama compelling. But as with Martian, some—albeit fewer—character moments will make you wince. Don’t expect to have your breath taken away by soaring dialogue, nor your heart moved by genuine human moments evocatively rendered. The story is a vehicle for the aspects of the spec-fictional lunar colony Andy wanted to explore, and it does that ably. But he’s no Bradbury or Huxley—the human element such as it is very much serves the mechanics of the (inventive, elaborate, worthy) worldbuilding exercise, rather than the other way ‘round.

Greatbook. I love it kinda new for me!

Enjoyable read. I was a big fan of The Martian. I started Artemis and couldn’t put it down. I really enjoyed the story and the characters involved. I almost want a sequel to check in on the characters. Can wait for the next book from Andy Weir.

Martian is why you’ve heard of Artemis. I really enjoyed the book “The Martian.” I read Artemis with low expectations because Martian is a tough act to follow. Also my hope is that if my expectations are low and the book exceeds them I will enjoy the book more. Unfortunately this book didn’t even meet my lowered expectations. The only reason anyone has heard of this book is because of the success of the Martian. If this had been Mr. Weir’s first book I don’t think anyone would have ever heard of it. The ending especially felt like one of those crappy movies that had to wrap up all the loose ends in a couple minutes cause the studio ran out of money.

Awesome. I couldn’t put this book down, I loved the characters and the plot grew more and more intense and exciting. It’s scientific but not hard to understand, it’s futuristic but not too far from earth, it’s action packed suspenseful and funny all at the same time. I highly recommend it... I never write reviews but this book blew me away! I am not a bit Sci-Fi fan but this book might have changed that.

Boring. Nothing special about this story or the characters

No sophomore slump. Great book, read it inside a week. I love Andy’s characters, so colorful and they have so much personality. As always Mr Weir has a lot of science, great page turning plot and it’s easy to follow if you enjoyed The Martian they you will enjoy this novel.👍

A good book. I really couldn’t stop reading this book. I was the same way with The Martian. I like Andy Weir’s stories. I will recommend to my like minded friends.

A fun ride but not a lot of depth. Enjoyed it, but nothing like the depth of the Martian or competing lunar titles like Luna.

Good. I enjoyed the book but was surprised by the harsh language.

Awesome. Awesome had me on the edge of my seat

I enjoyed it. Good book.

Good Book with Some General Flaws. This book has the same feel of The Martian, but seems to go past Andy Weir’s original novel by incorporating more detail in Artemis. This book is great, and for the $3 I got it at I can definitely say it’s worth it. Aside from price, there are a few general flaws with Weir’s writing. In instances it sounds overwhelmingly emotional, with heavy action scenes a good chunk of it too. If these two principles were balanced throughout the book I would think there was nothing else to say. This is a great book, and is by far worth the price.

Deece. Not as good as The Martian, but hits the spot if you’re into science/space stuff. Tough writing a story with a female protagonist as a dude - a bit of a tough sell at times - but hats off to Weir for taking on a worthy challenge. This could have read like The Martian 2, but it was totally it’s own thing - thanks for not trying to sell me on your sequel Andy, and thanks for not forcing me to imagine Matt Damon as the main character.

It’s not as interesting as the Martian. It’s not as interesting as the Martian

Artemis. Great read, could not put it down

Great. Original and fun to read.

Great book!. If you liked The Martian, you’ll like this book too. Yeah it’s hard to get into at the beginning but isn’t that every book. With great character development and a killer plot line with surprising twists, this book is amazing!!
