Man, I had such a hard time with Hail Mary. I tried twice to get through the first two chapters, giving up each time out of frustration. When, under sustained pressure from a friend, I forced myself past that block, I mostly enjoyed the story, but got frustrated again near the end.

I think Weir just isn't an author for me.

Sorry; I was triggered by the graphic. It's not only not a "must read," but also one I wouldn't recommend. Although, I admit I'm in a minority, and most of my friends liked it. I absolutely loathed ASoFaI as a poorly disguised, worse knock-off of Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn, and it was hugely popular.

Nothing wrong with that, everyone have their own tastes.

I find it pretty annoying when you don't like something but people would insist that it's your fault, and you should read/watch/listen it again. Personally, I won't consider Weir as one of my favourite author, but he is definitely in the the list of writers whose book I'll always read.
