'This is what separates artists from ordinary people: the belief, deep in our hearts, that if we build our sandcastles well enough, somehow the ocean won't wash them away.'

'Being enough was going to have to be an inside job.'

'This is happy! Your face opening is in sad mode. Why, question?'

"Well, you're not alone anymore, buddy," I say. "Neither of us are."

'Good. Proud. I am scary space monster. You are leaky space blob.'

'That's why there's a mesh over the window of a microwave. The holes in the mesh are too small for microwaves to pass through. But visible light, with a much shorter wavelength, can go through freely. So you get to watch your food cook witbout melting your face off.'

I just love Andy Weir. He must be the smartest person on this planet or he just fakes it realky, really well.

'You have to accept failure before you can have success.'

'Truth is hard to sell; it gives no sense of purpose. It is simply truth.'

Dieses Buch hat eine Superfähigkeit: Es lässt alle anderen schlechten Bücher, die ich in letzter Zeit gelesen habe, nicht mehr ganz so schlecht aussehen. Stupidest book I ever read

'Der misslaunigste Kränkling, der je seiner Mannbarkeit entgegensiechte.'

Den merk ich mir

I have mixed feelings about this one but I'm gonna read part II

Die Drachen sind schon super cool.

Es ist ganz spannend. Aber typisch Fantasy, viel zu viele Charaktere und Worldbuilding Elemente auf einmal gleich zu Anfang.

Oh man. Das Buch war einfach zu hübsch von außen. Das sollte einem eine Warnung sein. Diese Vergleiche und Metaphern bringen mich um. Keiner untersucht den eigentlichen Mord. Und der Lektor hat an verschiedenen Stellen einfach nur gepennt. Peinlich.

OMG this book!!! Mark Watney - I love you. Will you marry me? Oh wait, I AM already married. Damnit. No seriously, this book is just perfect. One if those in which you can get lost in completely. 5 Stars.

LOVE LOVE LOVE

The plot thickens and I realize this is a good book.

Not very far into the book and call me a style Nazi but the present tense in combination with the 3rd person just BOTHERS me.I try not to be bothered because apart from that, the style is gorgeous!! But I can't help it, this book overwhelms me with its immediacy! Also, some parts are so very detailed it bores the crap out of me. I want to love this book so badly and hope sparks between us will fly later on...

I knew it. But it was still good. 3,5 stars (and half a star for Tucker alone)

It's quite readable and I'm starting to get into this whole angel business. I like that it is clear from the beginning that Clare is a half-angel. I would absolutely ADORE this book if the guy she's supposed to rescue turned out to be an asshole and she'd actually fall in love with the obnoxious brother guy.
