I thought this would be like Crichton’s Jurassic Park book which was a lovely read and heavy on the science.
THIS book is not that. This shit is intriguing and suspenseful AND (big bonus) fucking hilarious. I am following the chemistry, I am desperately wanting this sarcastic amazing human to survive AND I want my kid to read it (provided the Martian lives… not there yet). Key takeaway: science is badass.
