This book was definitely better than what I was expecting. It was so well written; with an even distribution between science and humor. With this kind of book and premise, you need humor to relieve some of the other plot points of the book and Andy Weir did a phenomenal job doing that. Mark Watney was hilarious and had me laughing out loud. Weir also kept me on my toes and biting my nails. There were so many points in this book that had me nervous! It was so exciting!
Also, I was never interested in NASA before this but it fascinated me and kept me intrigued throughout the whole book.
Going into this book, I believed the was only his log entries on mars. I knew that in the movie we saw what was going on at NASA through the whole thing but I thought they had added that for the movie. I was wrong and I am so happy I was. I loved to see NASA and JPL in the book and the different people working to get Mark home. Also, I loved the parts of the book where we saw the Hermes crew. The transitions between all these places were beautifully done and gave so much background that was needed for this book.
I would recommend this book to anyone, it definitely stands out to me and I'm so happy I got around to reading it.
