Whew, this was long and sciency and honestly surprisingly readable.

Watney was sarcastic and quipy enough that it's hard not to enjoy him as a character, and the plot had enough action that it was hard to be bored. And luckily, I am a fan of science (I'm an astronautical engineering major and it was so fun to see how much of this stuff actually is stuff I've been learning at school).

If you like the movie the book is...almost exactly the same but longer and sciencier and sans the ridiculous Iron Man flying sequence! Yay!
