This is my first introduction to Andy Weir's books. I really like the funny and informative fiction style, though some cursing language can be toned down. Just something in mind if you're triggered by it. I loved the movie with Matt Damon, most of the movie plot followed the book but there are parts of the second half not in the movie, and part of the movie epilogue not in the book. I'm looking forward to more books by Andy Weir, this one was a sold read for 2021 :)
