Amazing! I wish it extended past where it ended, but I still really enjoyed this. I zoomed right through it and kept wanting to pick up my book for more!

An optimistic, probable-feeling tale of what would happen if we stranded someone on Mars in about ten years time. Ocassionally a bit of a slog on account of all the engineer musings, it is nonetheless a blast to read that keeps gripping the attention. If you're inclined to believe the best of mankind and want a comfortable sci-fi tale that confirms this view, this is the book.

I listened to the audiobook as I read this and Will Wheaton was the perfect narrator! He translated the humour flawlessly and enriched the experience for me. 

The story is suuuuuuper science heavy which my nerdy self loved but at times it dragged a bit. 

Overall I had a great time and I can't wait to see the movie!

Gracias a este libro me reí en voz alta. Sola. Mientras estaba en un tren lleno de gente.
Muy buena historia, personajes interesantes, y se entendía todo, a pesar de que yo no se una sota de física cuántica o biología.
En fin, un libro genial. Recomiendo escucharlo, como hice yo, ya que el narrador es excelente, y te hace vivir la historia.

Acabo de terminar mi tercer relectura de este libro. Sigo disfrutando el audio como la primera vez. Realmente, cada vez que lo leo me río en voz alta, y en esta lectura también me encontré a mí misma lagrimeando de vez en cuando.

Cada vez que lo leo/escucho, descubro algo nuevo. Y me sorprende la tenacidad del protagonista, cómo se toma cada cosa que le pasa. La forma de narrar del autor aligera mucho, a la vez que causa terrible ansiedad cada vez que va a pasar algo no tan bueno.

Hay frases que se van a quedar para siempre conmigo, y ya siendo la cuarta escucha, por momentos repetía en voz alta las frases que decía el narrador del libro. Qué les puedo decir, este libro es un muy sólido 5 estrellas cada vez. Estoy pensando seriamente que necesito una copia física del libro, porque a esta altura necesito poder leer alguna partecita cada vez que quiera.

Si nunca lo leyeron, por favor háganme caso y léanlo. Se van a encontrar con una historia que quizás no esperaban.
