The MartianThe Martian by Andy Weir

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Mark Watney is a member of a crew exploring Mars when a storm and freak accident causes him to be left behind on the planet. He is sure he will not leave Mars alive, but he decides to use every bit of ingenuity he has to try and survive.

Though the book is characterized as science fiction, it has more of an adventure theme to it. It was captivating, held my attention, and I couldn't wait to see what would happen next. There was also much focus on space exploration which I found equally interesting. Read it, if you want a great story that is well written.
