I appreciate that that was not proper Spanish, but whatever.
About twenty five minutes ago, I finished reading The Martian by Andy Weir. I am writing this the Wednesday before it is uploaded, so as to give my immediate impressions.
The Martian is about a man called Mark Watney, stranded on Mars after is crew mates deemed him dead during an emergency take off. The story follows him while he struggles to survive four years in a jab designed for thirty days. You root for Mark the whole way, disappointed when he fails a task, and cheering when he succeeds. I love the fresh take on science fiction, which mixed with the sarcastic humour makes a really light book, despite the serious danger the main character is in. Also, I am a complete and utter nerd, so I loved all the scientific and mathematical elements. They aren't too hard to understand, and I would't say that they were essential to the story anyway.
I rated this book 4/5 stars.
Over and out,
