A fantastic read.
I was hung up to every page. There is a lot of humour in this novel. It also feels very real even if it’s sci-fi, with all the scientific data and details.
We experience all the emotions of Mark Watney, alone on Mars, and of the NASA crew.
I really appreciated the writing: it felt as if I was there with the hero, trying to survive.
Higly recommended.
