It took about 50-60 pages to get into this (once Mark's repairs and tending crops didnt become so repetitive), but this book was an impressive debut novel for Andy Weir. Not as strong as PHM, but very intriguing and it keeps you engaged and on the edge of your seat. Mark Watney is an extremely fun narrator too.
