The Martian
by Andy Weir
An extremely funny book. Andy Weir’s voice and sense of humor are so distinct and it comes through beautifully in the novel. There were many parts where I had to hold in my laughter. I also appreciate how thorough the science is! Weir explains complex botanical principles in a digestible way, allowing the reader to connect with the story on a narrative and scientific level. I did think the pacing of the story was a bit weird. It’s not consistent and the entire last quarter feels rushed and not given the attention it deserves. I also didn’t like when the POV switched to the people on Earth. I understand why on a story level, but it kinda took me out of the narrative. Probably one of the funniest books I’ve ever read though!
