Stalling for time before coming into work this morning, I took Andy Weir's 'Artemis' to the shitter to start reading it.
I didn't even finish the first page before thinking "this is going to be total shit, isn't it?" and closing it.
I never read The Martian, but knew enough about it to think it'd be a bit dull and perhaps borderline somewhere on the spectrum in its.. well, totality.
Is it worth bothering with?
- The Martian is great and well worth a read (it's relatively short), even if you've already seen the movie. But Artemis was crap -- definitely don't bother.ridg0026
- haha, that seems like a fairly ringing unendorsement!Nairn
- The Martian is great, Artemis felt written for the screen and will possibly make a better film than book.spl33nidoru
- But Artemis was only his 2nd book, with the pressure of following a bookseller debut. Andy Weir definitely has more great stories in him.spl33nidoru
