I would never want to move to Mars, but like much of the population, I am still totally intrigued by the idea of setting foot on an alien planet. I read this book because a) everyone was talking about how great it was; b) I wanted to see the movie before it left theaters; and c) this is probably the...
This is one of the best books I've read. The subject is fascinating, the characters are engaging - particularly Mark Watney. I had to regularly remind myself that this was not a retelling of actual events and that these people are fictional. I won't lie, I did tend to zone out a touch during some...

I loved everything about this book.Mark is a great main character. I love his humor, and couldn't wait to see what he was going to do next. I also love the m...
Ok. Let me begin by saying WOW! Mad, crazy scientist props to Andy Weir, a self proclaimed "space nerd and devoted hobbyist of subjects such as relativistic physics, orbital mechanics, and the history of manned space flight." Geez. My hobbies consist of reading, collecting Louisiana Festival posters...
This story is pure science fiction, both funny and thrilling at the same time and one of those sharp story heavily laced with geeky details.

Separated from his crew during a dust storm after being struck by a piece of debris, with biostats reading zero, and a storm requiring an immediate launch, Mark Watney was left behind on Mars. Unfortunately for Watney, dumb luck and circumstance meant he was still alive. Alone, with very limited s...
The Martian is a near-future look at what might happen if an astronaut were accidentally stranded on Mars. NASA had already previously sent astronauts to Mars on two separate occasions, so Mark Watney's mission, while not danger-free, was supposed to be relatively uneventful. Then the sandstorm happ...
Okay friends… here is the scoop. I’ve been hearing RAVES about The Martian, particularly in audiobook format, for months, and to be honest, when people rave that much, I tend to get disappointed. So I waited and then cautiously started listening a couple weeks ago. What did I think? THE BOOK IS WORT...
The Martian is easily one of the best books that I’ve read this year. Hype began stirring around this book as soon as news for the movie came, but I’d been really reluctant to read this since I have never been into Science Fiction, and this book is full of it. Mark Watney is an astronaut who is lo...
