I didn't realize this was the same guy who wrote The Martian. If you liked that, you'll almost certainly be on board for this one.
Minus a half-star purely because I was disappointed by the ending. I'm sure many (if not most) would disagree with me there.

But again, if you treat it like a popcorn flick, it's pretty entertaining. This will probably be one of those few cases where the upcoming movie will be better than the book, if they don't completely screw it up.
This would have been a 2 star book if not for Rocky, who was impossibly endearing.

I really admire how Weir approaches exposition. Throughout the novel, you're constantly getting barraged by new information... but you don't feel it. Incorporating the need for exposition as a plot device (
It's been so long since I've read non-dystopian sci-fi, so I automatically assume the worst. I mean, a literal apocalyptic event is happening.
