Lora Abrams’s Reviews > The Martian > Status Update

Okay so we’re in the super mathy and sciencey part of the book. Not going to lie, I’m kinda bored because a lot of it goes over my head. Especially the math. Still enjoying Watney’s humor through it all though. I shall persevere. No worries 😉

Shit is RAMPING up y’all

I will say it again and again… Mark Watney is a funny bastard. Definitely was the best person to be left behind on a desolate planet such as mars.
Spoilers I guess


We just had the Hab blow to smithereings. So that’s fun. Well not for Watney, but I’m having a blast reading this. Even the parts that get real technical and sciency. Big fan of your writing Andy

Now, I’ve seen this movie a good 3 times. I’m very found of it. And the book is that much better. I feel like I can see everything even better than in the movie. I love Watneys diary. I love finally meeting all the other characters. I’m obsessed so far.

Mark Watney is a funny motherfucker.
