Review of 'The Martian' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
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!
