I loved all of the directions the story took and the details; every time I felt like I had a handle on where the story was going it would throw a slight curveball and I'd be glued to my chair trying to figure out what in the world was going to happen. I adored
"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.

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.marionlundqvist's review against another edition
