It didn't blow me away but it did leave me thinking, and it did definitely made me hopeful. There was a lot here. I loved the scientific nature and the intensity of the situation, and given that this was originally self published, I'll forgive grammatical mistakes. It was quietly intense and absolutely fascinating.

While the MC is funny and I liked the twist and turns of things going wrong and when everything came together, it was so hopeful, it was a very slow paced and heavy on the science stuff and low-key like of boring...

The audiobook read by Wil Wheaton is fantastic, he is so evocative and involved in his reading. His reading legitimately adds to the experience of this book.

Pretty good book!! I watched the movie first, so I was kind of surprised that

Beck, not Lewis, was the person that went out on the tether to save Watney. Made me kind of annoyed that Beck, in the movie, was kind of shoved into the background.

I loved Mark's positivity, even though he planned for every outcome, even his death. It's slightly unrealistic how positive he was, but inspiring all the same.
