I loved it when I read it. I've been trying to talk my husband into watching it with me.

The Martian is actually one of the few (maybe actually the only?) books where I watched the adaptation before reading the book - I really liked the movie and think it's a pretty good adaptation, as far as I can remember, though I can't really compare the two all that well.

I'm not a SciFi fan, though I've in recent years read a fair bit. I've only twice before given 5 stars to a SciFi read because I always find somethging lacking or problematic: N.K. Jemisen earned one for The City We Became and Martha Wells' Murderbot earned one with Rogue Protocol. Those 5 stars have been well- earned here.
Now I need to stream the movie adaptation. I just hope Matt Damon doesn't disappoint.
