I can completely understand why it was voted the best science fiction book of 2014 by goodreads users. It’s an engaging rollercoaster of a story. The main character is left behind on Mars when his mission is scrubbed because of a massive storm that threatens to destroy their ascent vehicle. The wind blows part of the comms array into him, knocking him unconscious and destroying the bio-monitor in his suit. The rest of the crew believe he is dead and take off before the wind blows over their ship

Interesting book, however it has a littlebit too much science in it for a simpleminded human like me and it's too optimistic for my view of life.

Loved it. It reminded me of my own life, just the martian's was a lot less complicated.

Not my normal genre, but I so enjoyed the read. At times a PhD would've come in handy, but I just skimmed when necessary...

Aspirational. The movie is a great adaptation
