Artemis by Andy WeirMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Artemis by Andy Weir is a fun read. It's a fast-paced, sci-fi adventure story with an intelligent, but down-on-her luck heroine (Jazz Bashara) who is trying to make up for past mistakes while making a living as a porter/part-time smuggler in the Lunar city of Artemis. She seizes the opportunity to finally get ahead by accepting a job from a wealthy businessman to help put a rival company out of business. It's a dangerous job that could get her deported back to Earth if she's caught, but the reward is too great to pass up.
It's a decent story, with plenty of humor, wise cracks, action and surprises that reminds me in many ways of some of Heinlein's young adult stories.
