Book Review of The Martian

The Martian
virgosun avatar reviewed on + 887 more book reviews


Smooth blend of daily log recordings on Mars and the rescue mission taking place on Earth. I was hooked within seconds, and I remained captivated to the very end. I got lost sometimes in the technical details of astro-whatever problem solving (can you tell I have no NASA training?), but those were minor hiccups. Still, it was a fascinating and suspenseful read, one I found hard to put down. Enthusiastically recommended at 4.5 stars.
