miggy_miggs 's review for:

The Martian by Andy Weir
5.0

I am reviewing this before I even finish the last 7%. Resolution isn't important anymore.
A perfect end of the year score, Mark is a hilarious, witty, and brilliant lead. The science is challenging but never impossible to follow. The alternating narrative always kicks in prior to anything dragging. The imagery is surprisingly strong given the desolate setting and minimal cast. Happy to be reading before seeing the movie.
