"The way Grace went from being forced to sacrifice himself for humanity to voluntarily doing it for Rocky [...] "
This book truly left such a wonderful impression and is easily getting categorized into the books I wish I could read again with no memory and will easily be a reread-er for me.
As an additional review for the audiobook: I 100% recommend that everyone try out the audiobook either in tandem with the book or on its own. It's easily one of the best audiobooks I've ever listened to and was so masterfully done. The way that they did

The only note I can give this book is that you have to suspend disbelief to accept how much science the MC knows- but that's pretty much par for the course of an Andy Weir book, and didn't bother me too much.
