Andy Weir really loves science. HE JUST REALLY LOVES IT. His enthusiasm for it is what makes his books readable. I don't love science, and I barely understand what he's describing, but he's just so darn excited about it that I'm willing to go along.

I cannot stop recommending this book, another solid win by Andy Weir, and my favorite of his so far, hands down. I want to read it again right now just because I don’t want to let the characters go.
