I've smiled at this book and laughed at it a few more times than I should have. This book is heavy on sarcasm, situational absurdity, and problem-solving. From conflicts that are actually extremely interesting (how would you go about growing crops on Mars?) to ones that are a bit more mundane and underwhelming (Mark's encounter with the sandstorm leaves... a lot to be desired?), it certainly does have its ups and downs. However, the downs are certainly made more bearable by the humor and expositionary narration that the story provides.
I'd say to give it a read if you like constant exposition and sarcasm-laced commentary. It's certainly an interesting take on what a sarcastic dumbass would do, trapped on a planet alone.
