This was just so cool! like sub zero temperature cool ha-ha see what I did there, yeah you did. 
 Smart, funny and so so gripping. 
 I loved this book, I loved Watney. There are so many little quirks and moments that made me laugh as well as moments that had me yelling at Mars for being such a dick. 
 STOP trying to kill Watney Mars! Seriously I think I should go back and count the near death experiences, but boy did they make for a good story. 
 I was really impressed by The Martian, I admit I had my doubts about a book that was placed in basically 1 setting the whole time but this read like a dream even the sciencey stuff was interesting. 
 A space joke just coz: 
 Q. What is a spaceman's favorite chocolate? 
 A. A Mars bar!!
