The Martian is about an astronaut who gets stranded on Mars during a mission, and struggles to survive while Earth tries to find a way to get him home.
It took me a while to get through this book, but it was definitely worth the trip. I'm glad that my brother lent it to me! My sister-in-law was right that Mark Watney is such a lovely character. He jumps right off the page with humor, pride, and eccentricity. He's the ultimate nerd hero!
This book was suspenseful, stressful, and also rewarding. You almost feel like you survived years alone on Mars yourself. Definitely recommended for scifi buffs and non-scifi buffs alike.
Will read and write soon!
