Obwohl ich den Film schon kannte und wusste was passiert war das Hörbuch doch bin zum Ende spannend und fesselnd.

Read entire book in one sitting

I started this book on the subway home from work, continued reading over dinner, and finished it that night in bed. It's griping, the science is solid, and it's about as close to "hard sci-fi" as you can get. The movie is also quite enjoyable.

Fun read.

And probably at least semi realistic? Didn't like it as much as Project Hail Mary by the same author. This sorta read as a sequence of "oh crap, another thing went wrong" problems, followed by solutions. I'm certain this is realistic - or even still overly optimistic, given what they were surviving through - but kinda made for an overly long, repetitive narrative. I suspect this is part of why they cut some of these out of the movie (and to save time, but also it got repetitive). Nevertheless, a fun read if you enjoy sci-fi that sticks close to contemporary science.

Really enjoyed this modern stranded story - a solid four and a half stars.

Low points - author uses exposition (through log entries) to over-explain some of the science.

High points - everything else. Astronauts, Mars, Pop culture humor, and an unkillable drive to survive. Simultaneously thrilling and scientific.

Recommended!

Addendum - went back and listened to the audio version narrated by R.C. Bray - Highly recommended!
