Many readers who devoured The Martian and loved that book seemed not to care as much for Artemis. I read both and very much enjoyed both for different reasons. The Martian is a survival-at-all costs thriller, Artemis is a slacker-gets-caught-up-in-heist-and-politics in a lunar colony setting. The descriptions of everyday life and tourism, to include the restrictions that come with living, working and visiting the lunar city/colony of Artemis are fascinating...it's the kind of narrative that Andy Weir excels at. I'd recommend Artemis at full price...at this discounted price, GO FOR IT.
I enjoyed Weir's Project Hail Mary more than The Martian. Artemus was my least favorite out of the three. I can never get into moon based stories.
Does this Artemis also have trouble taking off?

Fun and easy read. I'd also recommend the Red Rising trilogy after The Martian and Artemis while staying on the space theme.

Great recommendation on Red Rising, definitely one of my favorite book series. In case you didn't know, there are actually five books in the series at this point, with two more planned I believe.

The Martian and Project Hail Mary were really great books. Artemis was not. This is not worth the $3 IMO. This book is significantly different than his other work so do not buy this if you are only doing so because you like the other two books.

Enjoyed the Audible narration, but the book itself wasn't a favorite. Loved The Martian and Project Hail Mary.

Not as good as The Martian but still pretty good. If you enjoyed The Martian you will enjoy this and at $3 it's definitely worth it.

I'll agree with others that said the book wasn't great. Honestly felt it read more like a young adult book. Just wasn't that gripping and the characters didn't grab my interest.

Great book if you like the main character and everyone around her talking about how slutty she is with no relevance to the plot.

I felt like he didn't know how to write a female lead

I've read The Martian multiple times. Am reading Project Hail Mary again. Artemis will not be read again. It's like an entire book of Mark Watneys. He can't write female characters. Just not an enjoyable read.

I recently listened to the audio book and overall enjoyed the story. I felt like the story and space aspects were fun. I didn't totally love the main character and felt like she had a little forced sexuality in her that didn't always feel natural and some of her dialogue felt a little off. I still recommend it and like the concepts of a space colony and moon economy. I think this is a reasonable price for the book and would recommend overall but don't expect it will be the top choice for most.
