Mickey 7 vs Mickey 17 review

*spoiler free*

Mickey 7 by Edward Ashton 4.5/5

Wow! What a fun ride. Was this book groundbreaking? Not at all. Did I enjoy just about every second? 100%

I haven’t found a sci-fi author who hits the same as Andy Weir but Edward Ashton got pretty dang close. I love the concept of the expendable as a job for a colony exploring new parts of space/a new planet. Having a sort of fail safe guy who can do the most dangerous parts of just about any job without having to train someone new when they die? An employers dream. This book felt like a perfect sci-fi middle ground of the real horrors humans would face in space while also having dark comic relief (my personally favorite), plus aliens…who doesn’t love aliens. I was pleasantly surprised that the book explored the sort of emotional turmoil of being an expendable not only just in the day to day but also when faced with another version of yourself, literally.

Mickey 17 the movie 3/5

Going into the showing I genuinely thought I was going to like the movie more than the book. Mickey 7 felt like a book that even if they changed a bunch of stuff I wouldn’t be that mad about it., plus I’m already a big fan of Bong Joon Ho and his work. They had made the decision to up the amount of Mickeys from 7 to 17 which means he would die more, with that in mind I was expecting more action and excitement but honestly the movie was… the opposite. It felt monotone and very flat. There was also the choice to completely change a fairly prominent character’s personality from a traditional military general type to a love child of Trump and Elon Musk. I love Mark Ruffalo but the impression got very old very quickly for me. The movie also rushed through this sort of suspense of oh no are we going to get found out? which was a major point of tension and excitement in the book. Overall I felt like the movie was fine but definitely disappointing. I wasn’t disappointed because it changed parts of the book but just for how almost bland the story felt in comparison.

I don’t want to be in a reading slump but I also don’t know how to make more time after moving, still unpacking, and getting used to this new job

listen you NEED to borrow that book from the library. i know youve got like 10 other books lined up to be read but you need to go to the library. remind the library that it's loved and cherished

Books written by black authors that you should read. Don’t only read black authors during black history month, diverse your reading all year long. Their voices and stories are important and need to be heard.
