Há seis dias, o astronauta Mark Watney se tornou a décima sétima pessoa a pisar em Marte. E, provavelmente, será a primeira a morrer no planeta vermelho.

Depois de uma forte tempestade de areia, a missão Ares 3 é abortada e a tripulação vai embora, certa de que Mark morreu em um terrível acidente.

Ao despertar, ele se vê completamente sozinho, ferido e sem ter como avisar às pessoas na Terra que está vivo. E, mesmo que conseguisse se comunicar, seus mantimentos terminariam anos antes da chegada de um possível resgate.

Ainda assim, Mark não está disposto a desistir. Munido de nada além de curiosidade e de suas habilidades de engenheiro e botânico – e um senso de humor inabalável –, ele embarca numa luta obstinada pela sobrevivência.

Para isso, será o primeiro homem a plantar batatas em Marte e, usando uma genial mistura de cálculos …

Reading this 7 years after I watched the movie... twice

Fantastic story. Truly gripping and I need to watch the movie again. I find myself not remembering any major plots so I guess it'll feel like I've never seen it before.

As a non-native speaker with a full-time job it took me less than a regular book that size. Which means i really did read it in a pace very unusual for me.

Having read Andy's third book after The Martian I could see where he's coming from. He made the great science-stuff so much more tangible than in The Martian. Nonetheless, his skill to explain what's happening with all the analogies and metaphors is increcibly fascinating.

And off I go for Artemis. Truly curious.

No time for feelings; gotta survive

Very scientific and technical book

I finished the book in two days. It’s great. You will especially enjoy it if you’re interested in detailed explanations of how stuff works on Mars (farming, orbital dynamics, making water, fixing and tinkering with all the tools and machinery, etc). There isn’t a lot of emotions involved in large sections of the book, so don’t expect it. This makes sudden jokes hit very hard though. There are emotional moments and the book will keep you at the edge of your seat.

Read entire book in one sitting

I started this book on the subway home from work, continued reading over dinner, and finished it that night in bed. It's griping, the science is solid, and it's about as close to "hard sci-fi" as you can get. The movie is also quite enjoyable.
