By contrast, Artemis is a futuristic moon colony populated by many humans (some live there, others are just visiting). Artemis’ protagonist, Jasmine, is a young, jaded crook. But Mark is a character with a very good sense of humor, despite his dire situation. In The Martian, an astronaut named Mark struggles to survive alone on the red planet after a mishap leaves him accidentally abandoned by his research team. I know, it doesn’t sound funny at all. Artemis is still smartly written, but I didn’t find it quite as funny. Artemis is grittier. The main thing Artemishad in common with The Martian is that the characters are living somewhere other than Earth. Beyond that, they are very different. Therefore, I was eager to read Artemis. I checked out the audiobook version, read by Rosario Dawson (she’s great!). I loved Weir’s first book, The Martian, and also the movie based on it, even though I am not typically a Sci-Fi reader. I thought it was smart and funny, with just the right amount of suspense. Artemis is the second Sci-Fi novel written by Andy Weir. ![]()
