This book is freaking hilarious! Wait.... not the part where Mark gets stranded on Mars, but his humor! He had me in stitches!
I could not even imagine what it would be like being stranded on another planet. Well, first, I'm not smart enough to be an astronaut and second, I would not want to go to space....unless it was with Spock, but I digress.
I loved reading about all of the things he did to keep himself alive. Well, I was put off with the poo compost. I had a few gack moments. LOL! Mark's telling of these details were funny and to the point.
I didn't want to read this book for a long time because I didn't think I would understand what he would be talking about with all of the scientific stuff. I was pleasantly surprised that the author wrote this in a way that even I could understand. There was no drooling or dazed looks on my face. I could actually understand what he was trying to do, well for the most part.
I really hope this movie is going to be good. The previews look good, I'm just hoping that Matt Damon can capture the humor that Mark puts out there. If I could quote each funny thing he said in the book, they probably wouldn't let it post as it would be too long! That is what made it for me in this book. Mark didn't let anything get him down, mmmmm...a couple of ranting moments, but he deserved to have those. His snark was great and he's one of those people you could see being friends with, minus the smart brain :)
This was an awesome sci-fi book and I'm so glad I finally read it. I would recommend to all sci-fi fans or anyone that just wants a good novel with a great storyline and a whole lot of funny!

Mark is awesome! I loved it. There was just so much to love about it. I can see why they jumped on the movie making band wagon :-)

Thank you :-). I know. I worry that he might not get it right but he's a good actor so we shall see. He seems great for Mark's normal parts but I'm not sure about the snark. The previews look awesome!! :-)

I watched the movie trailer some minutes ago and I'm looking forward to go to the cinema.

Agree here about Matt but I'm willing to give him a chance:)

Thank you!! Sometimes I watch movies first too. And sometimes I actually prefer movies as I want to see the characters brought to life 😏💕
