LOVED the main character! He's hilarious AND a smart-ass!

Enjoyed reading the book, especially liked the ending highlighting our inherent need to help when people are experiencing problema. Only reason I marked it down to a three was because I felt I got a bit bogged down with all the science and experiments that I didn't understand too much.

Incredible book. Accessible for most everyone, doesn’t get too bogged down in the details. You wonder what problem Whatney will have to solve next. Can’t wait to watch the movie after having read the book.
