The Martian by Andy Weir
5.0
I loved this book!!!!
Wonderful humour, nerd references and science!!!
I really loved that the author really brings the reader along all the problem solving that Mark Watney has to go through. Of course there are simplifications (thankfully), the point is you never have that annoying thing some authors do when the character has an epiphany but the reader is not privy to it.
And all the science is pretty much high school level and simplified at that.... So it makes it easy to follow and even makes us (readers) feel smart for it!
But the heart of he book is Mark's humour and sarcasm for sure! There's no way not to love it! In the end, I think it's what keeps him going! And some jokes had me smiling and geeking out publicly! <3
