Jinks
I #amreading (actually, just finished) Artemis by Andy Weir.
I really enjoy his style and humor, but they're the only things that kept me going through the novel. The main character, Jazz, is totally unrealistic. She knows all, or can learn it online in an hour or two. I did enjoy Weir's vision of what a moon colony would be - grand digs for the super-rich versus tiny "coffin" quarters for the worker bees, the Tranquility Base historical site, etc.
Overall ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ out of 5.

@jinksb We're pretty much in agreement then. The base design and the descriptions of the culture developing there were the most interesting parts. It was also a fair enough thriller obviously written with a movie deal in mind. The less said about the one-dimensional characters the better.

@jinksb you’re the second person who’s struggled with the main character - I’m undecided as to whether I’m going to try it.
