This was good. Not Martian good, but good nonetheless. I would say that there was a middle slump for me, but the first third and last third were solid.

While I loved the complexity of this storyline at its core, the technicality of this book was a bit cumbersome. I’m excited to see it play out in movie format and even more so, I’m so thankful I listened to this performance rather than read the hard copy book.
