No soy fanática de la forma en la que está escrito, pero igual me encantó. Te amo Mark Watney, no sé de donde colas sacas tantas ganas de vivir, mijo

it was a fun read! somehow i spent three and a half hours reading without noticing it. i wish it continued till they reached earth, but books you dont want to end yet are kinda a happy problem anyway.

I was very interested in the plot the entire time, but it took so much brain power to read it that it was a little frustrating. I was very excited to finish the book. I will never read it again, but I am interested in watching the movie haha!

I read this hard science fiction survival tale while listening to Morton Feldman's album, For Philip Guston, to get an "outer space" kind of feel going, and oh did it fit the mood perfectly. After a quarter of a way into the book, I decided to switch over to the audiobook. Best decision. R. C. Bray is an incredible narrator. He kept me locked in the whole time and made this book come to life.
