If science bores you, then this is probably not for you. As in the film, Mark Watney gets stranded on Mars and the novel deals with how he survives, using his scientific knowledge and later NASA’s. There’s buckets of science information which presumably is correct but may put readers off. Despite my...
One day you start the normal morning routine on a Mars expedition, but the end of the day you’re bleeding and alone on the Red Planet with everyone believing your dead. The Martian by Andy Weir follows the life and death struggle of astronaut Mark Watney on the surface of Mars as he attempts to sta...
Unfortunately a disappointment, though I loved the movie. The book felt like a badly done mystery book: Mark encounters a problem, how will Mark solve it? By bringing up a property of his equipment that was never mentioned before. While it's obviously not realistic to expect the author to go through...
Что я могу сказать о «Марсианине» по прошествии трех прекрасных вечеров в его компании? Мне понравилось. Что меня беспокоит? Мне не должно было понравится. Для начала о сюжете, если кто-то пропустил экранизацию Ридли Скотта. «Марсианин» рассказывает историю Марка Уотни, американского астронавта ми...
Andy Weir's 2014 science fiction novel apparently had its film rights sold before it was ever formally published. It became an Oscar-nominated Ridley Scott flick, racking in, among other things, hundreds of millions in gross and Matt FUCKING Damon. (In the spirit of the novel, I've decided to tempor...
Andy Weirs Karriere ist ein Märchen der Schriftstellerei. Sein Debütroman „The Martian“ wurde ursprünglich von allen Verlagen abgelehnt, weshalb Weir das Buch 2011 als Selfpublisher veröffentlichte. Er bot es kostenlos auf seiner Website an. Als Fans ihn baten, eine Kindle-Version zu erstellen, verl...
I finished this in a day. I started it yesterday morning, then stayed up late to finish it last night. I don't really do that anymore with full-length novels. (Not that I don't want to, but life usually gets in the way, so I'm glad I started this on a Friday.) I don't think there's much point in me ...
Another book I saw at the bookstore (Thank God for bookstores) when it first came out, read the first line, bought it and loved it. Read it in two sittings (I never do that). Where did I shelve it? CLASSICS, baby as that's what it is. The movie, although changed slightly, was fantastic. The movie...
I read The Martian earlier this year and enjoyed it. While there has been talk of how scientifically inaccurate it is, that didn't sway my enjoyment. Read fast some of the parts about scientific calculations, accepted credibility of them by "suspense of belief", my attention was mostly on the story ...
I came so late to "The Martian" party. Not because I wasn't interested in it. But I always get leery about hyped books because I end up not liking them except for a few select cases. After watching the movie (and loving it) I was worried the novel would tarnish my enjoyment of the movie. I am so hap...
