Finally read this one! Always loved the movie, and so it was high time for the book.
After his crew is forced to leave him behind during a storm, botanist and astronaut Mark Watney is straight up stranded on Mars. So begins a survivalist adventure where Mark works to grow food in his hab module and sustain himself in hopes of a rescue.
Complex science is made fun and engaging in this wildly intense (and funny!) tale led by a quirky protagonist.
