outofrange reviewed Artemis: A Novel by Andy Weir
Entertaining moon caper
3 stars
Had a young-adult noir feel with some science thrown in here and there. I felt the need for a little escape and this did the job.

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.

I had a lot of fun listening to Rosario Dawson bring this book to life. I laughed and was very involved in most of the book. But by the end, I didn't like it as much as I thought I would. I think it was a little science-heavy for me and also predictable toward the last chunk. But the narrator made it all worthwhile.
I'd go 3.5.
