The Martian by Andy WeirMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Mark Watney is part of a six man crew with a Mission to mars, but six days in, a storm hits and they have to evacuate under rushed conditions. Mark is lost and presumed dead, but he's not! Now he has to survive in a barren wasteland until the next crew arrives.
A very fun and action packed read. It's cool to see all the ways he thinks up to survive, and what he thinks up again when those plans turn to hell due to unforeseen circumstances. He book is easy to get into and is fast paced.
Sometimes the change in viewpoint threw me off because at first it seems like it will all be Mark's POV then we hear from Huston which is fine, but then sometimes we get a narrated view of what Mark is doing, which only happens like twice in the novel. It's fine, it just wasn't what I was expecting.
Can't wait to watch the movie! I'm sure I'm a fool for reading the book first. Hopefully I won't hate the film. XD
