It’s a good story and I recommend it. If it wasn’t narrated in the way it was, I probably wouldn’t have completed it because it’s not my sort of story.

The Martian bukan novel dg mind-blowing plot atau epic universe. Tapi novel sangat menyenangkan.

Astronot Mark Watney dalam kunjungannya ke Mars terpisah dari timnya. So, dia harus survive sampai bisa mengontak Bumi utk meminta pertolongan.

Kekurangan dulu. Novel ini full oleh istilah teknik tentang perjalanan luar angkasa. Bagi yg nggak suka kayak saya, mungkin jadi males bgt buat baca.

Kelebihan. Karakter Mark Watney orang yg menyenangkan. Dia tipe slengekan kalau istilah jawanya. Jadi, selama su

Wow, what a thrill this book was to read!

Right from the first page I was completely engrossed by Mark and his "unique" situation. The whole book I was rooting for him, and there was never a time where I knew what was coming next. Every page was a surprise, and I loved it.

The reason that I'm giving it four stars though is because the writing style got quite repetitive at times, and it seemed like the other characters back on earth had no real depth to them.

All in all, this book was an exciting an

I have finally read this book and I'm so so so happy I did. I watched the movie first which is something I never do and I adored it and when I started the book I was worried that the sciency stuff might bore me (especially because I dread anything that has to do with chemistry) but it was actually amazing and Mark's sarcasm and humour made everything hilarious. I adore this book and recommend it to all of you!!!! ...more

Let's be honest here, I picked this book because I heard Sebastian Stan was going to be apart of this book to movie adaptation.
This book is one of the first books that I've read that didn't have to do with YA, along with science! Two major things that I usually took no interest in. I kind of just got the book on a whim and I'm so vehemently grateful that I did.
I adore this book.
Science is one of my weakest subjects that I've actually grown to despise but this novel has opened my eyes.

This books was amazing! I was skeptical at first, as it seemed like something my dad, a mature scientist, would enjoy more than his teenage daughter. However the book has grown on me. The main character, Mark, has become my favorite character ever! His black humour, even in dire situations, is wonderfully funny. Plus I happen to be a giant fan of survival style stories. 10/10 would reccommend!
