The Martian by Andy Weir

4.0

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.
