Well apparently I'm a sucker for ‘stranded in space' stories - anything that reminds me of Apollo 13 just gets to me. Watney's monologue was too absurd for me with all the yay's, and he was such a bro sometimes it was painful. But I had fun with the overall story. The science was incorporated well and super easy to follow.
________________Reread #1: This is still super fun and addicting. I didn't even mean to read it again... I just couldn't stop listening to the audiobook after I put it on for background noise just before bed.________________

Reread #2 : Accidentally listened to the whole thing again in the minutes before bed over a few days. Look, it's just a fun book, and apparently I love it.
