This is my first Andy Weir book and I absolutely loved it. I could not put this book down. The concept of an astronaut with amnesia having to save the world is already interesting, but the way the memories come back to him are what push the plot forward and what develop his character. I really enjoyed this style of writing and want to pick up more of his books. Would recommend this book to any sci-fi enjoyer or scientifically minded person. Even the outlandish aspects are explained scientifically and grounded in a bit of reality, which is part of why I didn't mind more fantastical elements.
