I could not finish this novel. Over a week and I only got to page 30. It was a whole bunch of "Problem! Extremely technical science and jargon to the rescue! Witty quip!" I loved the movie, but as a book it was a total fail for me. I think its great that Weir self-published this book and then managed to get it picked up by a traditional publisher and then a movie. I hope to see him publish future books, but I won't be reading them.

I did think if it hadn't grabbed you straight away that it might not be for you. Plenty more fish etc etc.
I did this one on audio and it worked for me......I'm not sure I would have gotten through reading it though.

I would have found a way to force myself to read it. Can't give up those points.
