    bethd13: Both books are fast paced and lots of snarky humor. Love the intelligent, strong, female characters!

I listened to the audiobook and I thought it was well read. Some parts are really "science-y" and other parts are really "fiction-y". It's still fun. I give it 4 moon bases out of 5 moon bases. ( )

I tried to read this years ago, but I didn't like it. I love other books by this author though (The Martian and Project Hail Mary), so I decided to give it another chance and actually finish it this time.

Artemis has a great setting and a unique plot (once it gets going), but the main character is incredibly annoying. She constantly humble brags about herself, makes incredibly stupid decisions, and tells cringey jokes. She's not a good person, she's not a villain, she's not funny. There's really nothing interesting or entertaining about her. What a waste. ( )

Jazz Bashara is an Artemesian (Moon community) who is a principled, civic minded, genius... smuggler, who can't seem to rise out of poverty or avoid trouble. The language is a little rough, but that was true of this author's first book, "The Martian", too--it's just a bit more disconcerting coming from a female--beings how all our thoughts are pure and all. :-)
The movie is still in development with Simon Kinberg (The Martian) and Aditya Sood signed on to produce, and Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, a team of Writer/Producers with the titles The Lego Movie, 22 Jump Street and Clone High in their credits, signed on to direct.
The author has hinted that this is the first book of a series. I'll be watching for the movie and future books. :-) ( )

Not as good as the Martian, more like a mystery set on the Moon. ( )

Augmenting her limited income by smuggling contraband to survive on the Moon's wealthy city of Artemis, Jazz agrees to commit what seems to be a perfect, lucrative crime, only to find herself embroiled in a conspiracy for control of the city.

Book description
Jazz is a small time criminal, subsidising work as a porter on the moon with smuggling a little contraband. But it’s never enough.

When she’s offered the chance to get rich quick she jumps at it. But planning the perfect crime in 1/6th gravity was never going to be easy, especially as there is a conspiracy at the heart of Artemis.

At first it was about the money, then it was about control. Now it’s about survival…

Jasmine Bashara, roepnaam Jazz, ervaart de kleine stad waar ze woont als beklemmend: steeds maar weer dezelfde gezichten, dezelfde verhalen en de dagelijkse sleur van haar werk. Ze droomt van grote rijkdom en een beter leven op Aarde. Jazz is namelijk een van de handvol kolonisten die in Artemis woont, de eerste en enige stad op de maan. Het leven op Artemis is zwaar als je geen rijke toerist of excentrieke miljardair bent, en Jazz is verre van een van beide. Ze heeft torenhoge schulden, haar baantje als koerier levert nauwelijks genoeg op voor de huur van een klein appartement zo groot als een metalen doodskist, en haar ontluikende carrière als smokkelaar wil ook maar niet van de grond komen. Als een kans zich voordoet om dit allemaal achter zich te laten en eindelijk het leven te leiden waar ze al haar hele leven van droomt, peinst ze er niet over om neet te zeggen, zelfs al weet ze dat er een addertje onder het gras zit. De perfecte misdaad plegen is nooit eenvoudig - al helemaal niet op de maan - maar de reacties die haar spectaculaire daad teweegbrengt, had niemand kunnen voorzien en Jazz komt terecht in een samenzwering over de heerschappij van Artemis.
