Comments

KelseyLarnderHaddad: The film adaptation cover is very nice. It’s paperback but it’s very thick and glossy. The pages are also quite thick for a paperback. If you loved the movie, you’ll love this. If you didn’t love the movie, still give this a try because there are some differences. A very nice piece for any paperback or movie book collection.

Tino George: Excellent book. Hard to keep it down. It tells the story of the human resilience on adversity. The attention to the small details is unbelievable.

Luis Velazquez: Provides exceptional scientific and technical details that sometimes might cause one to get lost but at the same time gets you involved so much in the moment you see yourself in the red planet

GustavGustav: FEEL FREE TO ASK ME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BOOK!

I would like to start this review with a note that is both a positive and a negative. I do not read any book, this is because I am never captivated and cant really empathize with the character and I never feel like I am there. But on to the review.

"About this version of the product*

The book came to me in pristine condition it was truly breath-taking how beautiful the cover is. The book is well sized and honestly this is one of if not the most beautiful and durable books I've bought. There is also a map in the beginning which is awesome since I was cross referencing it so much which made me feel very immersed.

*About the book SPOILER FREE PART*

The Martian is the most well written, funny, serious, and emotional book I have ever read. This is in part because of the amazing writing. Mark Watney is a charismatic, smart, and resourceful man. In the face of adversity he always manages to crack a witty joke that always made me chuckle or just burst out laughing (No im not psychotic, i don't think). The writing makes you really feel like you know mark which is one reason why you empathize and really feel...

JuJu: UPDATE - Even if you saw the movie, READ THE BOOK!
Since reading this book, we have watched the movie at least ten times. It's wonderful of course, but incapable of including all the wonderful bits and pieces, and events, that the book has. Many things have to be left out to produce a movie that isn't four hours long. You will not be bored or disappointed reading this at all if you saw the movie but didn't read the book. It will be even better, and give you all the bonus scenes the movie couldn't.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:
Absolutely fabulous story. An astronaut that gets stranded on Mars and needs to find a way to stay alive as time passes and supplies & equipment run out or degrade. Instead of giving you any "summary" of the rest of the story line, I'm going to talk about why it's such a great book to read and leave all the cool, funny, suspenseful and dramatic details untouched so you can really enjoy them as you read it yourself. I knew absolutely nothing about the story before reading it, beyond what I've just said in my second sentence above, and I do believe it would make a huge difference. My husband and boys all read this when I did and we were constantly laughing...

Jennifer: Log Entry: _The Martian_ Day 1

I've never been much of a novel reader; I've always been the "Why read the book when you can watch the movie" type. I totally understand and acknowledge that it's a smart-ass attitude, and also recognize that it reflects a certain amount laziness and ignorance. Nevertheless, I'd say before I opened an account on Audible.com it had been at least 5 years since I last read a novel. I opened the account just over 3 months ago as a trial, because I spend 30-45 minutes each way driving to work, and frankly I had grown weary of all the NFL draft discussion, speculation, and subsequent analysis on sports-talk radio here in Jacksonville. Don't get me wrong. I think Blake Bortles is awesome and I can't wait to see him play for the Jags, but there are only so many ways you can analyze his throwing motion and potential before he ever plays an NFL game. Since I opened the account I've read [listened to] 4 books: one sci-fi thriller, one self-help, one classic and one educational. I really enjoyed the sci-fi so I checked the recommendations based on that book and found _The Martian_ by Andy Weir. I read some reviews, then read the first couple pages with...
