This is also unfair to Rosario Dawson as she does an absolutely kick-ass job at the narration of this book. Every time I hear the narrator go on about moon physics, I get super bored, and think to myself "I bet Ray would make this better." But it's 2023! Ray Porter can play anyone in the name of diversity. I keep telling myself, my wife, random people at the bus stop, and anyone else who will listen, that I think what the book might be missing is Ray Porter. It has all the wit of Project Hail Mary, and even has a great narrator, Rosario Dawson. It's apparently about a moon heist, with all the comedic hijinks you'd expect from one of the best Marvel movies. So I'm trying my best to listen to Artemis by Andy Weir. And you have yourself something specials. You take author Andy Weir and combine it with one of his comedic sci-fi stories, then add the final ingredient: Ray Porter. He's so good he makes everything seem natural, organic and ad-libbed. I've downloaded some other books in which he narrated and I could swear he just walks in, ad-libs and gives it his own spin.
