The Martian by Andy Weir

5.0

The narration is very funny and feels very human despite all the dry math and science that drives the plot. Occasionally I was caught off guard by the switch in narrators, but in retrospect I really liked how it served to slowly expand the scope of the story from Mark's limited journaling to finally include an omniscient voice. I never felt like I was being talked down to, even though my knowledge of space travel and physics is fairly limited to science fiction novels like this. Great read.
