I finally read The Martian, not really knowing what to expect. I had hear it was really good and knew the most basic bits of the premise, but went in cold other than that. And, honestly, I just didn't love it. I can absolutely see why others did. It did keep me on the edge of my seat for a while. After a bit, though, it just felt kind of repetitive and I kept wishing I was closer to the end. It was good and I'm glad I read it, but it just didn't hit me as hard as I thought it would.
