Interesting, clever, and humorous but read like a blog.
One of my all time favorite books, ever. Andy Weir, please write faster.
Hoo boy, this book needed another round of editing. My first impression that Mark read like a 14 year old girl, but that's an unfairly gendered comparison. More accurately, he reads immature and juvenile, which clearly seemed to be the author trying too hard.

I took a while to finish this book, but that was not because I didn’t like it. I felt like I was really in this story and found myself in differing states of anxiety based on what was happening to Mark Watney. Very well done and happy to finish my Reading Challenge goal with this book.
