The Martian

THIS BOOK STRESSED ME OUT SO MUCH OMG

I read it all in one day. Also I skimmed a lot of the math. There were a lot of equations in this book? Also I'm not really into space? Also surival/adventure stories tend to give me suicidal urges? basically what I'm saying is that I am not the target audience for this book and I probably wouldn't have picked this up if it hadn't been so talked up.

But I really enjoyed it! It's very funny in places, with a great cast of characters. It's a definite page-turner. I think people who are more interested in hard sci-fi, or just astronauts/space/whatever would really enjoy all the details in here (which are apparently pretty realistic, given Weir's scientific background).

also I NEVER WANT TO GO TO SPACE
