The next time I get stranded on Mars, I’m bringing this with me.
Man, this was- I have no words.
I’m in awe, wonder, and “surreal-ness” all wrapped in one, created this gut feeling that I’m so in love with.
It felt real. Truly. It felt like I read Mark Watney’s actual biography, if he was a real person. I love this. The movie stayed true to the original and I am so grateful. It’s a truly beautiful and unique story that I am glad to experience at least once in my life. This is one of those books that you cannot, or will not, stop thinking about.
One of the first books I wish I could rate 6+ stars on.
