*flaily hands* OHMIGOSH HOW MUCH DID I LOVE THIS BOOK??
Answer: A LOT.
It felt so REAL in every possible way. The characters were ALIVE, the science was understandable, the situation was believable, and I looooved Mark Watney's sense of humour. I cracked up laughing multiple times while reading this book. I don't do that very often.

I get it, I understand how and why the scientific stuff is included in the novel. But, I'm gonna be ...more
