rileydriscoll 's review for:

The Martian by Andy Weir
5.0
funny

Overall: 5

This absolutely lived up to the hype!  

Liked: 
  • I was so invested in this and it was hard to put down. The problem-solving was much more interesting than it had any business of being.
  • Watney was so likable. His logs were my favorite part of the movie and might have been even better in the book.
  • This was much funnier than I expected.
  • I loved that the whole world came together to save Watney.

Didn't Like: 
  • The plot got a little repetitive.
  • I know there was no other way to describe what was going on, but having a few moments of third-person POV on Mars was weird.
