This book made me laugh then cry then laugh again. Ended exactly how I wanted it to. Though the stakes were extremely high, it felt extremely heartwarming and I had complete faith in the competence of our MC to save the Earth. I 100% recommend this book. 

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.

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.
