jkb reviewed The Martian by Andy Weir (The Martian, #1)
Review of 'The Martian' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
Okay, this was an awesome book and I don't know how it could have been better. Oh, wait, yes I do, BUY THE AUDIOBOOK!! R.C. Bray was brilliant voice actor and from the first sentence to the last sentence he did a great job. He was thoroughly entertaining and captured the emotions of the text, which is just as brilliant. Andy Weir is now a new favorite author on my list. Bray couldn't have been as great as he was if it wasn't for a perfectly written book.
The book was absolutely the best hard science sci-fi book that I've read in a while. What makes it great is that seems to be a well researched book. The science seems to be perfect in it. I'm not an expert, hence the seems, I've read one science book discussing a mission to Mars and all the problems that can occur, which were pretty much in this book, it was just refreshing to read/hear a great science book with the all the human emotion story mixed in.
I am recommending this book to anyone who loves to read, or loves audiobooks, as this is just a great book. You don't need to be a scientist and its written as to have a wide appeal.
