Artemis

 Artemis by Andy Weir 368 pages

Synopsis: Jazz Bashara is a criminal.

Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent.

Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down. But pulling off the impossible is just the start of her problems, as she learns that she's stepped square into a conspiracy for control of Artemis itself—and that now, her only chance at survival lies in a gambit even riskier than the first.

My Thoughts: I honestly truly enjoyed this book. As someone who doesn't know much about space or the Moon, I was a little daunted by all the Scientific talk, but the book was still enjoyable. I love Jazz as the main character; she is such an anti-hero and so funny! A lot of people might pass over this book because it's a female main character in a sci-fi novel, but don't! This book is worth reading along with his other novels! The number of times I laughed while reading this book.
