A thrilling novel about a nerd stuck on Mars, well, an engineer and botanist astronaut. I probably would have enjoyed it more had I not read Project Hail Mary first, but I still liked it. Some of the dialog I could see being off putting to some, but it does replicate how nerds talk, admittedly. The style of journal entries made sense for the book, but a few of the problems that Mark Watney faced seemed unnecessary, especially the dust storm that was hyped up for several chapters then ended up being easy to navigate around. Felt like very little payoff and had me thinking "wait, that's it?"
Still can't help myself from enjoying it so much.
