Histoire
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s.

Description
The best-selling author of The Martian returns with an irresistible new near-future thriller - a heist story set on the moon.
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.
Bringing to life Weir's brash, whip-smart protagonist is actress Rosario Dawson (Marvel's The Defenders, Sin City, Death Proof). With the breathless immediacy of one realizing they're one cracked helmet visor away from oblivion, Dawson deftly captures Jazz's first-person perspective – all while delivering sarcastic Weir-ian one-liners and cracking wise in the face of death. And with a cast of diverse characters from all walks of life calling Artemis home, Dawson tonally somersaults to voice Kenyan prime ministers, Ukrainian scientists, and Saudi welders. It's a performance that transports listeners right alongside Jazz, matching her step for step on every lunar inch of her pulse-pounding journey.

Not so great
I thought Andy Weir did a very good job of writing a very immature and self-centred, yet multi-dimensional character. The problem is, I had little desire, part way through, to listen to the character anymore. I stuck it out in the hopes that the story might improve on the character, or that other characters may develop, but it didn't. There were lots of neat ideas about how life might be on the moon, but not enough to really make it a successful follow up work to The Martian.
I don't know that Rosario Dawson could have done a better job narrating, given her character's annoying factor. So I do not blame her for the performance.

Just awful
I couldn't return this book so I tried to listen to it as long as possible to get my "money's worth". But I'm finally giving up, no point in torturing myself any longer. It is full of lines like this: Female character: I'll have to blow them both at the same time. - teehee I hope no one takes that sentence out of context!" *barf* the story is bad, the characters are bad, and the accents are bad. Don't do it!

Not much to see here.
Well, I never really got into the characters. I certainly didn't care for them. The performance by Rosario Dawson was very good but it always seemed a little too cocky and another small thing; it sounds as though the "t"'s have been removed from her vocabulary. The story was decent but it kind of reminded me of what a Nancy Drew mystery would be like. But with the occasional F-bomb thrown in. The science fiction part was above average but it just didn't capture me. The hard science was like reciting details from a grade 11 Physics class. It was an okay, breezy read, that would make for a good summer vacation read but one of the best science fiction books of that year? It must have been a below average year.

Performance doesn't do the material justice
The voice performance is very conservative, with one voice for all characters, with moderate to no change in inflection. If the stellar performance in Weir's 'The Martian' is solely what brought you here, I'd give it a pass.

Disappointing
I loved The Martian and was really looking forward to Artemis. I love Andy Wire's application of known science to his protagonist's problems. In The Martian I cared about his protagonist. In Artemis i found her self-centered and morally deficient. Full disclosure: I don't expect the lead character to be perfect but I do want them to be a positive role model. I tried to like this book but gave up a third of the way into it.

Disappointingly mediocre
I was rather excited to listen to this book, following the high bar set by The Martian. Hard science fiction with a fun character and struggles with environmental-based hazards. There is plenty of the former and some of the last, but the character is where it largely fails. Jas is simply unlikable. It's revealed near the end (though easily predictable by the middle) that she isn't completely driven by greed, but even ignoring that she's a terrible human being on a number of scores. She's petty and nasty in far too many situations where it is inappropriate to be so, where it is natural to prioritise the matter at hand, rather than making snide, spiteful remarks. She is the eternal rebellious teen: wanting to be independent and respected, but too immature to really achieve that. She is independent, but she places personal respect for her ever out of reach with her behaviour.
Beyond Jas, other disappointments include over-used tropes and glaring predictability. As I said, her ultimate motivation is easily seen halfway through, even if it isn't revealed until the end. Every difficult situation she faces is obvious a mile away, which is not always due to her actions, but because they're exactly the kind of thing a reader might expect -- especially the final hurdle in the "save the world" action near the end. It's something seen so often that it's become a joke, but I'm laughing with scorn instead of humour, so I don't even care about her sacrifice.
Rosario Dawson's performance was okay. She doesn't do voices with any particular accomplishment, but I felt nothing negative about her effort. I've simply heard far too many better narrators, and all of this is why I give her two stars.

Just Awful
I was someone who truly enjoyed The Martian, and didn’t balk at the idea of a science/math-filled book about space. It had a great premise too. A. HEIST. IN. SPACE. How do you mess that up? The answer is: rather easily.
This is a case where Weir said, “If it ain’t broke, try to do it again and just sorta change the names kinda?” I query whether Weir has, in fact, met an adult woman. The main character of this novel is described and acts the way a 12-year-old boy imagines a woman to be... which is just like a 12-year-old boy, but with boobs. The dialogue and repartee are forced to the point of being painful. The science is thrown in to no benefit of the story and just serves to grind the plot to a halt. Every character, and even the setting, is a stereotype - and a tired one at that.
Rosario has a nice reading voice, but her accents were rather painful and distracted the listener from the story as you try to sort out, “...is that really German?”
I had to return this book because it became such a chore to listen to.

Compelling & Accurate, Save for the Main Character
This sci-fi adventure was well told and scientifically accurate, however those strengths were undercut by an unrealistic female lead, who, I would add, was written by a man and in the first person. I mean she is truly unbelievable, like what you might expect of a fantasy girl from a 12 year old sci-fi fanatic's wet dream. This might not ruin the book for everyone, but it probably should.

Weak characterization, but good performance
Interesting world-building, but disappointing story with exhausting middle-school humour. Rosario Dawson manages to make it bearable with a great performance.

Protagonist is basically an annoying teenage boy
The world of Artemis is creative. The plot is ok but utterly predictable. The performance by Dawson is great. However, just leave it to a man to create a shallow, uncomplicated, potty mouthed, sex obsessed, completely unbelievable woman of colour protagonist. She’s basically a teenage boy, but with boobs... which she even points out a couple times. Thanks captain obvious!
