This definitely lived up to the hype, amazing story with accessible science. Also I'm so glad he went back for Rocky
This book is phenomenal, probably the best book I've ever read in my life. It had me laughing, crying, gasping and just so interested the entire time.
Andy Weir is an absolute genius, and I can't say much about this book at all (at risk of spoiling it) except for you won't regret reading it.

I used to cry before physics exam at school and I know sci-fi isn't my cup of tea, but I decided to give this a try anyway. It's so good! A gripping pageturner on Earth's last attempt to save the planet. Rocky and Ryland's chemistry is the highlight, for sure.
I did wonder how the heck humans are able to work so well together for this project or how Ryland is so good at being an astronaut, but it's forgivable.. it's fiction anyway. I read that the scientific part quite makes sense, but I wouldn't know if it doesn't.
