Took a chapter or two to hook me, but The Martian won me over by the halfway point.

Stayed up way too late finishing The Martian. Worth every lost hour of sleep.

A comfortable, well-crafted read. The Martian does exactly what it sets out to do.

Liked more than I disliked here. Andy Weir has a clear voice.

Rare for a fantasy book to stick with me this long after finishing. The Martian did.
