Der Astronaut Mark Watney war auf dem besten Weg, eine lebende Legende zu werden, schließlich war er der erste Mensch in der Geschichte der Raumfahrt, der je den Mars betreten hat. Nun, sechs Tage später, ist Mark auf dem besten Weg, der erste Mensch zu werden, der auf dem Mars sterben wird: Bei einer Expedition auf dem Roten Planeten gerät er in einen Sandsturm, und als er aus seiner Bewusstlosigkeit erwacht, ist er allein. Auf dem Mars. Ohne Ausrüstung. Ohne Nahrung. Und ohne Crew, denn die ist bereits auf dem Weg zurück zur Erde. Es ist der Beginn eines spektakulären Überlebenskampfes ...

reviewed The Martian by Andy Weir (The Martian, #1)

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.

reviewed The Martian by Andy Weir

Fun read.

And probably at least semi realistic? Didn't like it as much as Project Hail Mary by the same author. This sorta read as a sequence of "oh crap, another thing went wrong" problems, followed by solutions. I'm certain this is realistic - or even still overly optimistic, given what they were surviving through - but kinda made for an overly long, repetitive narrative. I suspect this is part of why they cut some of these out of the movie (and to save time, but also it got repetitive). Nevertheless, a fun read if you enjoy sci-fi that sticks close to contemporary science.
