The Martian by Andy Weir

**** 4 stars

I loved this crazy book!  So much fun!  I'll be honest, a lot of the science went over my head but I was willing to take a lot of that detail on faith and enjoy the ride!  I loved the narrator's voice and personality; both were so distinctive and entertaining. 

I will say, though, it's not a perfect book (what is?) and the seams show a little bit.  There's an unpolished quality to it which, honestly, is part of the charm. It's definitely the word of a time/place/generation. The hipster talk reminded me a lot of Ready Player One (which I also liked a lot even while having to bypass some of the subtleties....)

So, yeah, this is definitely going to be a movie, right?  Awesome and just plain fun!

Please note - 
I received this book from the Blogging for Books program in exchange for this review.
