I cannot put this book down. Andy Weir is a freaking genius of an author! It is just as engaging as The Martian with the same style of writing—back and forth between two points of view, super scientific solutions to realistic situations, and incredibly high stakes. I love it!

I can’t put this book down! A super engaging first-person narrator, fascinating characters and conflict, and amazing worldbuilding.

One of my college English professors once said, “When reading a book, if you come upon a word you don’t know, stop reading and look up the word, because the author has chosen that word for a very specific reason.”

I’m loving the worldbuilding in this book! Super classic Celtic vs Christian mythology with even some Norse, Chinese, and Greek mythology thrown in.

Holy cow, what an inspiring book! I red it mainly to learn more about the Middle Ages and how the world has changed since then, but this book has a deeply inspiring message about life, good acts, death, and the passage of time.
