A review by arjohnson5623
The Martian by Andy Weir

5.0

I don't really know where to begin with this one, because there are so many "wow" type thoughts that I'm a little bit lost for words. This is the type of fiction I would want to write, if I had the know-how. This is the type of fiction I would want to read much, much more of. Weir has created not only a realistic world and situation in which we as readers can get sucked in with very little suspension of disbelief, but also a cast of characters that are so intensely likeable and charming that I found myself laughing out loud at their jokes, gasping when something went wrong, and generally unwilling to put the book down.

The only complaint I have is that this is Weir's first published novel and that I don't have more from him to gobble up.
