Binding : paperback Pages : 416 Publisher : Ballantine Books Review: Better than the movie! - I read this before the movie came out and as you hear a lot, it is mush better than the (Also great) movie with Matt Damon. I love Andy Weir's books and I would rank this just below his latest book, Project Hail Mary. I don't want to reveal any plot points, so I'll just say this. Due to time restrictions in movies, it seemed like a pretty straight forward path for Mark Watney, but in the book, this is MUCH more difficult, dangerous and takes much longer. It's so satisfying to see the solutions our protagonist comes up with using science to get through his ordeal. It gets very emotional at times and has a real feel of danger about it at all times. The author manages to immerse you in the environment and you will definitely be rooting for Mark throughout. Amazing book, well worth it whether you like science fiction or not (This is based more on fact than fiction, so no aliens or the force!). Highly recommended! Review: Good, but arrived in unsatisfactory condition - The cover page of the book had a tear.
