Still not the biggest fan of the writing style of Weir, but this was still a enjoyable story. 

AWESOME! A different take on science writing for sure, as it's mostly a smart-ass botanist's diary. But absolutely exciting, completely hilarious, and chock full of nerdery and science.

I liked the plot and concept of this - and I think it will turn out to be a good movie. I liked how it tied in with a lot of previous things that have been done on Mars (like Pathfinder). But I was not a fan of the writing at all. Not only was it a lot of math and science, but it also read like a college student wrote it - lots of cheesy and short sentences. It made it hard for me to feel like I was there with the character and rooting for him.
