# Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir [https://i.imgur.com/UAezzh8.jpg] We had a pretty good turnout for our first book of the month vote. To be honest I did not anticipate the problem of there being a tie. I took the liberty of flipping a coin which came out heads for Project Hail Mary. In the future I might have to come up with a better method of tie breaking. I’m figuring this out as I go and it is all just for the fun of it anyway so please don’t take this too seriously. 1) Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir [https://bookwyrm.social/book/102060/s/project-hail-mary] - 20 votes 2) Children of Time - Adrian Tchaikovsky [https://bookwyrm.social/book/318855/s/children-of-time] - 20 votes 3) Neuromancer - William Gibson [https://bookwyrm.social/book/886299/s/neuromancer] - 17 votes 4) Hyperion - Dan Simmons [https://bookwyrm.social/book/151613/s/hyperion-hyperion-cantos] - 13 votes 5) Leviathan Wakes - James S.

Don’t make the mistake of making this your first audio book, it will ruin all other audio books for you.
I only read the book, so I’m very interested: How does the audio book deal with the main foreign language?
Major spoilers for anyone that hasn’t read the book. >!It does it all with what sounds like a synthesizer. It really, really brings the character to life. You get used to short notes for quick things he says, but then the longer expressions are amazing.!< If you loved the book and haven’t heard the audio book, I highly recommend giving it a shot.
