I can see why this was so recommended and as an audiobook too. The slow mystery and reveal of the plot was great, ,the main character I could see getting a little bit on someone's nerves but if you liked the narration of the Martian you will likely find this one fine as well. I thought that this book improves upon some of the unbelievable aspects of the Martian - mainly being the fact they sent so many people back just for one guy. While it is optimistic, I find the main character's conflicts and reasons for going on this trip to be much more riveting. While the Martian is just about exploration of Mars at the end of the day this book gives it some more tension. 

I did feel that the very end felt a little rushed but I'm interested to see how this is going to be adapted to the big screen.
