It pretty much follows the same blueprint as the Martian right? I've heard that a bunch. Are you liking this one better?
about 15% in Yes and no. We’ll get some people that have finished it to weigh in, I’m sure, but a lot of people have said it’s his best one. I can certainly see Martian similarities but from a completely different angle.
I enjoyed it more than The Martian. would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoyed that or likes science fiction (or just good novels).
I’m halfway through. Started it earlier and can’t put it down. Martian-ish. I’m enjoying it more than the Martian.
Finished it in two days. Quick read. It's fun like the Martian. Did not love the direction they went at the end with it. If you like the Martian you'll like it though.
I'm halfway through this now, like it a lot and hard to put it down. That said, first book I'm reading by him -- I have an issue with how he's written his main character. He's just too immature sounding or something, like a snarky teenager a lot of the time. That tone seems off for a brilliant scientist on a critical mission like this. But it hasn't made me not like the book or anything.
Just finished this one. I’d give it a solid 8/10. Fun book. Quick 2-3 day read depending on how long your reading sessions are. I wasn’t nuts about the ending but it was a good time regardless.
