The Martian

Author: Andy Weir
Stars: 5
Review by: KM

You must like science and adventure to enjoy this, but, boy, if you do, you're in for a thrilling read. Best-selling author Hugh Howey said, "Clear your schedule before you crack the seal. This story will take your breath away...smart, funny, and white-knuckle intense...." Basic premise: astronaut is left on Mars after a dangerous dust storm forces a fast evacuation by the crew who believe he is dead. Miraculously, he survives the accident, but will he be able to survive on Mars alone until a rescue can be launched? Written very realistically.
