Shines in the 1st person chapters, which are realistic, easy to read and laugh-out-loud funny. In comparison the 3rd person sections come out oddly detached and occasionally clunky, though I'm not sure whether that's a deliberate attempt at scientific diction or a symptom of this being the author's first novel.

Wow, truly kept on the edge of my seat with this one. I saw the movie first, and it just does not do the book justice. To be clear, the movie got the tone 100% right, which was an awesome discovery, but the whole adventure was way more involved than the movie could ever have expressed. Easily a favorite - I’ll definitely have to read more Andy Weir now.

My friend has been recommending the movie to me for ages but I didn't want to watch it until I read the book. I'm glad I read it, really enjoyed it (more the human side than the technical stuff but it didn't impact my enjoyment of the book at all)!

What a book. Witty, real, inspiring, downright hilarious, amazingly written. I loved the movie and I really really loved the book. I think anyone who liked the movie would like the book to some extent, even if they're not a big reader. It's wonderfully written and I couldn't put it down. Plus, I appreciate that Andy Weir followed through on the "science" part of science fiction.

Mark Watney is stuck in space. He's alone, afraid, and is fighting for his life. He's been abandoned by his crew who thought he was dead, and he's having to stay alive on Mars all alone. There's a lot that entails, so be warned.
