The Martian

I liked this book! It is like reading a MacGyver in space story. The main character finds himself stranded on Mars, and encounters challenge after challenge after hurdle after disaster. He sometimes gives in to being upset, and his humor and sarcasm carries him far, but his will to survive and his basic knowledge about how things work help him address what he faces.

Love his sarcastic wit dealing with NASA and his situation; situation demands risk; Could we do what he did? Are we too risk averse? How much is one life worth?
