Story : Watney is stuck on Mars and he has to survive many days, so Ares 4 can come and pick him... a really interesting story that could be an amazing sci-fi thriller. So many explanations with technical stuff that I couldn't care ,,So, I did an EVA and then I put something in that thing called ... and then that didn't worked so I started a new technique using ... but it failed so [...]”. Repetition after repetition. I liked the parts on Ares 3 and on Earth... so many people working for the survival of one person (it's really heartwarming).
Characters : Oh boy, I didn't liked Watney that much. He was so unrealistic (using that word in a sci-fi is stupid, I know) because he always made jokes and he was acting like a child... Scooby Snacks, wtf? The other characters are whatever, I didn't really cared for them (tho, I liked the crew from Ares 3).
Overall : I expected something serious, but I didn't get that. The idea of the book is amazing, but I'm not a fan of the execution... this is like really overrated, in my opinion.
