No se lleva las cinco estrellas porque me sobra mucha, mucha ciencia (que se explica en profundidad para que lo entienda cualquiera y por tanto ocupa muchas, muchas páginas), pero me ha encantado. 

La sinopsis oficial hace mucho spoiler, porque nada más empezar el libro estás en blanco -con el protagonista- y vas descubriendo -recordando- cosas, pero si has leído la sinopsis te sobra casi el primer tercio del libro, la verdad.

Me sobran también ciertos detalles de los flashbacks. Hay personajes que parecen payasos, no sé si el autor quería hacerlos peculiares o únicos, pero a mí me sobran completamente esos "quirks" (y no son nada creíbles). 

Lo mejor es sin duda Rocky, alias "la araña culona" (nunca un error de traducción caló tanto en la sociedad). Soy muy, muy, muy fan de Rocky. Se gana el libro.

Poco más que añadir. El final me ha encantado, una maravilla, gracias. Me han faltado algunas cosas ahí (explicaciones, tal y cual) pero es de lo mejorcito que he leído. 

La verdad es que estuve a punto de dejarlo al principio, porque se parecía demasiado a otro Marciano y no quería leer otras 500 páginas de eso. Pero me alegro de haber seguido.

Resumen: genialidad con exceso de ciencia. No leas la sinopsis si puedes evitarlo.

Explicit discussion of planned assisted suicide - one of the methods that are discussed would be drug overdose.

As with everything Weir writes, I loved this! This might even beat the Martian for me which is one of my all time favorites. I am so glad I went in blind knowing very little about the story. everything was a surprise and it’s one of those books I wish I could read for the first time again. I didn’t go in expecting to get so emotional either. There were parts where my heart was racing, there were parts where I was choked up. And that’s saying a lot, usually books don’t this much of a reaction from me unless I’m really attached to the characters, and it’s a really compelling story. And I’m a science nerd so all the explanations fed the little nerd part of my brain nicely. Excited for what he writes next!
