This was SO MUCH FUN. I adore the film and have wanted to read it forever. I listened to the audiobook with Will Wheaton, and it was an absolute delight. I'll be reading more, Andy Weir.

It's been a very long time since I read Interview, but I tried to audiobook this time and it was wonderful, particular Part III in Paris. It was also different hearing the words, knowing she wrote the story to process the grief of losing her daughter to leukemia. It made the listen all the more heartbreaking.

It was fun. MMC is a golden retriever, which isn't my favorite, but Blake was a lovely dark contrast, and despite the virgin princess that I grow weary of, I liked Rory. I'll read the next one.
