Andy Weir All Books Editorial Review
"The Martian" is a thrilling and suspenseful science fiction novel that follows the story of astronaut Mark Watney, who is left stranded on Mars after his crew mistakenly believes him to be dead. The book is filled with techno-babble, chemistry, and math, but surprisingly, this doesn't detract from the enjoyment of the story. Watney's witty and smart personality, as well as his ability to remain cool under pressure, makes him an engaging protagonist. The main challenge Watney faces is how to survive until a rescue mission can reach him, as his supplies will only last for about a year. The problem-solving and life-saving adventures that follow are both intense and entertaining, keeping readers hooked until the very end. The author, Andy Weir, presents the story with humor and a breezy writing style that adds to the overall enjoyment of the book. Overall, "The Martian" is a seriously fun read and a must-read for anyone who is a nerd, engineer, geek, space nut, adventure nerd, survivalist, or simply a human. The book's clever problem-solving, suspenseful plot, rock-solid science, and hilarious humor make it a standout science fiction novel.
