laure_frompariswithbooks 's review for:

The Martian by Andy Weir
3.75
hopeful reflective tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Loveable characters: Yes

Interesting. A little bit répétitive.
I think it's pretty realistic with the efforts made to retrieve Mark and it's frustrating. I mean, of course it's fiction but I could see it. The money, the time, the minds invested  to save a man on mars... but what about global healthcare,  education, combating famine and climate change ?
