Es una obra maestra, me encantó los recursos literarios que utilizó, usar a escritores famosos como personajes es algo que me sorprendió. Lo quiero volver a leer.

Husband was telling me initially this was serialized online, which might have been more fun.

Basically the MC is MacGyver every chapter, which is fine but it isn‘t balanced out with enough of a human psychological/emotional storyline. I had to gloss over all of the technical math & science stuff every time he had to fix something, of which there is A LOT. I would have bailed had it not been for a bookclub.

But, the humor is first rate! 👍🏾

Ruthiella Agree. This wasn‘t for me. I liked Project Hail Mary a little bit better, but I think he‘s just not my cup of tea as an author. 2w
Tamra @Ruthiella 😅 I felt a bit bad given all the stars it gets everywhere. 2w

Oh my gosh, I haven‘t thought about Sanford & Son in decades! The theme music is fantastic - what a groove. Back when music was actually written and played by human beings. 👵🏻😉

I‘m enjoying Watney‘s humor, but definitely steers toward Jr. High. 😆

I had no idea that I would like this book as much as I did. From the first page, it was very science-y and very math-y, but I kept going. This story was so interesting, AND it helped me get a trivia question right 🤗
Just me working on clearing out my owned TBR.

The.Great.Catsby @Bookwormjillk I saw the movie in theatres, but haven't seen it since. It was fun to not remember a single thing from the movie. Haha. I'm looking forward to the movie. 3w

The Martian, by Andy Weir (2011)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Premise: An astronaut recounts his desperate attempts at survival after an accident strands him on Mars.

Review: There‘s not much I can say about this that hasn‘t already been said. Cont.

Mattsbookaday This is an astounding piece of science fiction, heavy on the science, but not at the expense of plot or character. It‘s a harrowing story, but filled with the best of human resilience, hope, and creativity.

Bookish Pair: The only book I‘ve read remotely like this is Weir‘s Project Hail Mary (2021)

@dabbe #TLT 🎶 At laaaaast I know more movies that were Oscar picks. I loved the three above but also so many more. I remember being aghast when my kids wanted to go see JoJo rabbit, which I thought made light of Hitler. Then I read an article from an author who talked about the satire and value of it. It was poignant. An f u to fascism, in my opinion, which sadly seems still relevant. It‘s also a forever “I told you so” by my kids.

dabbe Thanks for sharing that story--so poignant. ♥️ Thanks for playing and sharing. 💙💚🩵 3mo

12/100 Its been a long time since I read this, back in high school, but I'd forgotten how sad this book is, how melancholy the whole world was, even in the lighter moments. Sometimes Bradbury leans too much into the poetic for my tastes, but his vision of a Mars that will never be, definitely stays with the reader when its finished. 3 ⭐⭐⭐💫 #ClassicLSFBC #Jumpstart2025 #Read2025
