Andy Weir's novels are fun, easy, light-hearted reads. They always have a smug, smart-assed main character that often goes over the line to be likeable (and often succeeds, I must admit).
Nonetheless his novels are also very spot-on when it comes to scientific accuracy on everything space-related. Weir has the ability to explain even the most boring stuff in a fun, easy to follow style.
Artemis's plot is maybe a little far fetched: you've got the main character messing badly with the city's oxygen supply (a city on the moon, btw), risking everybody's lives for entirely personal reasons, and still she's depicted as a the good guy (well, gal in this case). But if you're willing to turn a blind eye on this, the plot is good and unfolds in a steady and gripping pace.
Weir's writing style is probably nothing to write home about, but it's never dull either, …

Weir's writing style is probably nothing to write home about, but it's never dull either, and considering the heavy load of scientific stuff he writes about, that's some accomplishment.
I recommend this to everyone who is at least a little bit interested in space exploration.
