The Martian

Fantastic story. I loved everything about the book. From the characters, being so diverse but at the same time so likable, the plot, which gave me the chills just to think of how it'd be to be out there alone on Mars. The way it was written, both the logs from Watney that conveyed his reasonings, thoughts and emotions, and the passages that were focused on what was happening on earth and on the spaceship with the rest of the crew. 

Start, middle part and ending, this one was a freaking blast. The only thing that prevents it from being a five-star read in my opinion, is that it was so scientifically fluent and savvy that for me, having little to no knowledge on those topics, it was hard to follow and understand at times.

On a side note: This book will forever be special to me, since it was the first book I ever read on my Kindle, which has truly changed my life when it comes to reading and altogether. That alone gives this one a high spot in my heart.
