Summary

Den bästsäljande författaren till The Martian är tillbaka med en oemotståndlig thriller om det perfekta brottet。 På månen。
Jazz Bashara är en brottsling。 Typ。 Livet i Artemis, den första och enda staden på månen, är svårt om du inte är en rik turist eller en excentrisk miljardär。 Så att frakta in lite ofarligt smuggelgods räknas knappt, eller hur? Speciellt inte när du har skulder att betala och ett jobb som knappt täcker hyran。 Allt förändras när Jazz ser chansen att begå det perfekta brottet, med en belöning som är för stor att motstå。 Men att klara av det omöjliga är bara början på hennes problem, och snart upptäcker hon att hon har hamnat mitt i en konspiration för kontrollen av hela Artemis och att hennes enda chans att överleva hänger på en plan som är ännu mer riskfylld än den första。

It has a slow beginning, but the protagonist is likable。 If you like heist plot driven media, this book will be up your alley

I loved The Martian and so decided to give this a go。 It was a really fun read! A space sci-fi heist mystery that I found myself wanting to fall back into at every free moment。 The ending was a bit meh for me and I could definitely tell that the woman main character was written by a man which is a pet peeve, but other than that it was a fun jaunt to the moon!

Very entertaining and action packed story。 There are a couple of plot holes that make this book not as good, but even then I really enjoyed reading it。

If you, like my dad, find yourself labeling any movie or tv program as “a cop show” then steer clear of this book。 While I would normally consider Andy Weir to be one of my all time favorite authors (HELLO, have you read “Project Hail Mary”?!?, favorite of Barack Obama, Bill Gates, and Erin Cooper), “Artemis” is just fine。 While I love the science jargon and female heroine (if you can call her that), it did not stick the landing。 While on the surface it promises classic sci-if and a fantastical If you, like my dad, find yourself labeling any movie or tv program as “a cop show” then steer clear of this book。 While I would normally consider Andy Weir to be one of my all time favorite authors (HELLO, have you read “Project Hail Mary”?!?, favorite of Barack Obama, Bill Gates, and Erin Cooper), “Artemis” is just fine。 While I love the science jargon and female heroine (if you can call her that), it did not stick the landing。 While on the surface it promises classic sci-if and a fantastical look at a colonized lunar future, at its core “Artemis” is a novel-long heist / police chase。 So much running and hiding。 Of course, I do have to preface that I love Andy Weir’s sense of humor and style of writing。 Although the story needs to stop and ask for directions, his voice is not lost。 。。。more

I might be a bit generous giving this 5 stars (rounded up from a four-point-something), and it may be due to my recent dissatisfaction with the books I've read lately, but I did thoroughly enjoy this book and I read it much faster than I expected。 While The Martian was peppered with snark here and there to help Mark Watney emotionally deal with his tragic situation (as well amuse the audience), Artemis is snarked up to your eyeballs。 There were a few times I thought Jazz's witty comebacks or ine I might be a bit generous giving this 5 stars (rounded up from a four-point-something), and it may be due to my recent dissatisfaction with the books I've read lately, but I did thoroughly enjoy this book and I read it much faster than I expected。 While The Martian was peppered with snark here and there to help Mark Watney emotionally deal with his tragic situation (as well amuse the audience), Artemis is snarked up to your eyeballs。 There were a few times I thought Jazz's witty comebacks or inexplicable asides to the audience were a bit showy, and perhaps unnecessary, but still I enjoyed her as a character and the use of a tightly plotted adventure story to give her redemption。 5 stars may be an oversell on my part, but I needed a good, fast-paced romp like this。 The world-building was interesting and well thought out。 The side characters were compelling。 I don't know enough about the physics, chemistry, astronomy, etc, to know if anything was glaringly wrong and could create a potential plot-hole, but I thought the sciencey portions of the novel were well-explained and not too dull。 If you're looking for a good action/adventure type book that's a fast read, honestly this is pretty good。 I'm surprised it wasn't rated higher, but perhaps it was compared too much to The Martian, which was both adventurous and emotionally challenging, and so this fun, but less emotionally challenging story didn't compare as well。 。。。more

“Artemis” has been on my To-Read list for a while because I really enjoyed Andy Weir’s other two “hard science” sci fi novels。 While I was worried about Artemis’ score being significantly lower than the other two books, I ultimately enjoyed Artemis regardless of one (somewhat big)flaw。Artemis is set somewhere between “The Martian” and “Project Hail Mary” on Weir’s scale of realistic space travel tales。 It’s set on The Moon and imagines what life would be like in its only “city” and like most oth “Artemis” has been on my To-Read list for a while because I really enjoyed Andy Weir’s other two “hard science” sci fi novels。 While I was worried about Artemis’ score being significantly lower than the other two books, I ultimately enjoyed Artemis regardless of one (somewhat big)flaw。Artemis is set somewhere between “The Martian” and “Project Hail Mary” on Weir’s scale of realistic space travel tales。 It’s set on The Moon and imagines what life would be like in its only “city” and like most others it deals with small town politics, heists, and murders, all the while dealing with the ever-present dangers of living in massive bubbles a few meters away from the vacuum of space。 From the start, the book had me really interested and questioning its Goodreads score…。。and then I got to the subplots about condoms and underage sex and it got more than a little awkward and I could understand why some readers could be put off by it。 But my biggest issue with Artemis was the protagonist “Jazz”, short for Jasmine。 Weir’s so used to writing from the perspective of smart and sarcastic white male protagonists that a reader could be forgiven for thinking Jazz is another one。 But Jazz isn’t, Jazz is supposed to be a smart 20-something Arabian woman living on the Moon but Weir doesn’t truly explore the ramifications or potential character moments that come from being that。 I’m not saying Arabian women can’t be overly sarcastic and horny but Weir’s writing for Jazz makes me wonder if Jazz was originally another white male that Weir (awkwardly) added in a few cursory sentences or rewrote others to change her gender and ethnic identity。 As is, I found Jazz to be grating because she’s honestly a jerk。 Her depiction and characterization almost bumped my score down another star。 Yet despite my issues with Jazz as a character, I still enjoyed Artemis。 It was nice having Weir take a break from the other books’ “lone person stranded in space far from Earth” plotlines and focus on creating a believable space colony on the Moon。 I can’t say how realistic Artemis station really is compared to reality but Weir sold me on the logistics and technology that make life on the moon possible。 Besides that I really like how instead of the conflict being a fight for survival Artemis focused on a series of petty crimes and heists on the Moon。 I enjoyed the ramifications that a black market would have in a space colony itself and the heists could be pretty tense and exciting。 Weir weaves in his usual scientific terminology and emphasis on real world physics/chemistry and even economics that show how complicated life would be away from Earth。 Unlike in The Martian and Project Hail Mary, I found I was able to better follow the technical language and understand its ramifications on the plot。 I’m not sure if more STEM-minded readers did not enjoy it and thought it was dumbing down the science but I didn’t mind and I’m sure this helps make Artemis more approachable to other readers like me。 It’s definitely the weakest of Andy Weir’s three books I’ve read but I did enjoy reading “Artemis”。 Part of me wonders if the upcoming movie adaptation can fix the novel’s/narrator’s issues。 As is though, Artemis is a pretty enjoyable space heist story that should lend itself well to the big screen。 。。。more

I wanted a book that was basically "hard SF nerdery like The Martian except not The Martian because I already read that。" So, this is basically that, except it takes place on the Moon and not on Mars, so the specific details of the nerdery are different。The main character is supposed to be a Muslim woman, which appears to be solely expressed by having her say she is every few pages because I think Andy Weir thinks this is how you write female characters? He's trying。 I guess。 Sort of。This is, sa I wanted a book that was basically "hard SF nerdery like The Martian except not The Martian because I already read that。" So, this is basically that, except it takes place on the Moon and not on Mars, so the specific details of the nerdery are different。The main character is supposed to be a Muslim woman, which appears to be solely expressed by having her say she is every few pages because I think Andy Weir thinks this is how you write female characters?

Overall, not my favorite work from this author, but is the science and added economic commentary still interesting? Absolutely。 Jazz and the other characters of this novel were simply not characters that I could really connect with and some parts of the storyline seemed slower than other parts。 While this is, I believe, one of the shorter books he’s written, it took me awhile to get through due to a lack of excitement with the material。 I’m still a die hard Andy Weir fan, though。

Trevor Dunbar

Not as good as Andy weirs other books。 A city on the moon made up of rich and poor living together is a really cool concept。 I also really liked the beginning before the murder happens and that’s when it starts to get less interesting。 I found there was nothing that really emotionally tied me to any of the side characters。 Similarly, I also never really connected with the pen pal that we see messages with at the end of each chapter。 All and all, decent book with decent premise but nothing to rea Not as good as Andy weirs other books。 A city on the moon made up of rich and poor living together is a really cool concept。 I also really liked the beginning before the murder happens and that’s when it starts to get less interesting。 I found there was nothing that really emotionally tied me to any of the side characters。 Similarly, I also never really connected with the pen pal that we see messages with at the end of each chapter。 All and all, decent book with decent premise but nothing to really make it fly off the page 。。。more

I previously read The Martian and Project Hail Mary both of which I loved。 Unfortunately this one fell flat for me- trademark problem solving, intellect and technical knowledge were core to the plot but Jazz was not well developed, the plot didn’t make a ton of sense and I found the ending disappointing。 I did like thinking about life on a moon colony and the types of people who would live there and for what reasons。

Amanda

I loved The Martian and Project Hail Mary (❤️❤️❤️) but this one was eh。 I never felt connected to any of these characters。 I would have also like some background about the current times, how did we get here, how did these people end up living on the moon? The plot was also bleh。 And the constant talk about Jazz’s sex life, why?

Very dissapointing。It is truly frustrating how the story and all of the characters fell so flat when the setting was so interesting and scientifically stable。There are no stakes at all, no plot point has a real consequence, and every character is so one-dimensional it hurts。 The author especially seems to struggle with writing from the pov of a female lead, I felt like I was in the head of a 15 year old instead of an adult woman。It gets 2 stars as the reading experience wasn't that bad, and I li Very dissapointing。It is truly frustrating how the story and all of the characters fell so flat when the setting was so interesting and scientifically stable。There are no stakes at all, no plot point has a real consequence, and every character is so one-dimensional it hurts。 The author especially seems to struggle with writing from the pov of a female lead, I felt like I was in the head of a 15 year old instead of an adult woman。It gets 2 stars as the reading experience wasn't that bad, and I liked the sci-fi elements。 。。。more

Honestly I thought I was going to like this more than I did。 I thought the writing of Jazz was really quite bad and very much a "woman written by a man"。 I found myself scoffing, cringing or just very uninterested。 If I hadn't have listened to it in audiobook form, I would have likely DNF'd it。 I don't hate it, I just really didn't like it very much and it took FOREVER for me to finish it。 Honestly I thought I was going to like this more than I did。 I thought the writing of Jazz was really quite bad and very much a "woman written by a man"。 I found myself scoffing, cringing or just very uninterested。 If I hadn't have listened to it in audiobook form, I would have likely DNF'd it。 I don't hate it, I just really didn't like it very much and it took FOREVER for me to finish it。 。。。more

Out of the three Andy Weir books this one was my least favorite。 Weir wrote a space crime story but I didn’t think it was that great。 He did a way better job with the space survival stories in my opinion。 My least favorite part of the book was the main character Jazz。 I wish Weir had not made a female the main character or at least not been weird about it。 I would have been fine with it if he hadn’t unnecessarily sexualized her。 There are several references the Jazz’ sex life and body figure tha Out of the three Andy Weir books this one was my least favorite。 Weir wrote a space crime story but I didn’t think it was that great。 He did a way better job with the space survival stories in my opinion。 My least favorite part of the book was the main character Jazz。 I wish Weir had not made a female the main character or at least not been weird about it。 I would have been fine with it if he hadn’t unnecessarily sexualized her。 There are several references the Jazz’ sex life and body figure that made me uncomfortable and if had been left out wouldn’t have changed the plot of the book at all。 Other than that I thought the plot overall was just meh。 It honestly was more of a heist story than a mystery。 If this is your first Andy Weir book you should go read the Martian and that should bolster your opinion of Weir then read Project Hail Mary。 。。。more

A sassy smuggler who lives on the first and only lunar city is hired to sabotage a big business。 So the story starts out like it’s going to be a complicated moon heist, but when things do not go as planned (shocker) the protagonist has to solve a mystery, and a whole bunch of new problems, most of which have to do with chemistry and physics。 An action-packed sci-fi with stakes that keep getting higher。

I first read this book 5 years ago so a re-read was definitely in order。 Listening to the audiobook made for a super quick read and I finished it in a day。 I love Andy Weir's writing style, the sarcastic humour and the relatable characters。 A great book with an engaging plot, however this book is my least favourite by this author。 This is set in a world where life on the moon has been established。 Thus taking away that realistic 'fight for survival in space' aspect that I love so much。 Also, Wei I first read this book 5 years ago so a re-read was definitely in order。 Listening to the audiobook made for a super quick read and I finished it in a day。 I love Andy Weir's writing style, the sarcastic humour and the relatable characters。 A great book with an engaging plot, however this book is my least favourite by this author。 This is set in a world where life on the moon has been established。 Thus taking away that realistic 'fight for survival in space' aspect that I love so much。 Also, Weir is much better at writing male main characters。 Artemis just doesn't quite match The Martian or Project Hail Mary (both among my favourite books of all time)。 。。。more
