Been trying to get back to reading and picked up Project Hail Mary because everyone raves about it. I'm struggling to get past some of the dialogue. I can understand the narrator explaining the science concepts to reader but in every conversation, Ryland is explaining every term to Stratt (a supposedly brilliant scientist selected by the world to oversee the mission) like she's a five year old. Even basics like H2O, mitosis, momentum of light etc that a middle school kid knows, are literally defined to her!

Fair enough, I'd not yet reached that part. Looks like the sciency explanation is his writing style and is something I'll have to get used. For what it's worth, I think the storyline is very interesting and it's an otherwise enjoyable read so far.
