Mark Watney è stato uno dei primi astronauti a mettere piede su Marte. Ma il momento di gloria è durato troppo poco. Un’improvvisa tempesta lo ha quasi ucciso e i suoi compagni di spedizione, credendolo morto, hanno abbandonato il pianeta rosso per fare ritorno sulla Terra. Mark si ritrova completamente solo su un pianeta inospitale e non ha nessuna possibilità di mandare un segnale alla base. E in ogni caso i viveri non basterebbero ?fino all’arrivo di una nuova spedizione. Nonostante tutto, con grande risolutezza Mark decide di tentare il possibile per sopravvivere. Ricorrendo alle sue conoscenze scientifiche e a una gran dose di ottimismo e tenacia, decide di affrontare un problema dopo l’altro senza perdersi d’animo. Fino a quando gli ostacoli si faranno insormontabili…

Freaking loved every page of it!
Fun and entertaining.
The Martian by Andy Weir was an absolute joy to consume. I'm a space nerd all the way to my molten core and this thing had me on the edge of my seat. Sometimes I was a step ahead of the plot, but much of the time I wasn't. This is was the perfect balance of detail and accurate science to give me a mental picture and a realistic plot to pull me along. Damnit that was a good book.

This book is an absolutely incredible mix of great storytelling and real science. We need much more of this kind of science fiction and a bit less of the trending dystopian kind.
What are you waiting for? Go read this book. Very engrossing, a lot of fun.

Good story with a funny protagonist.
Was okay, but some of the writing seemed a bit goofy and unrealistic.
