Oof long blurb! 
 So for some reason a lot of people think the book was based off the movie.. nah, the movie was based off the book! 
 This book is basically about Mark Watney, a botanist, who is left behind on Mars, alone and practically without resources. He uses scientific knowledge, as well as a great sense of humor, to deal with everyday life. 
 This book was such a cool read! 
 Although you really have to focus to understand some of the pars, it's totally worth the time and concentration! Mark keeps getting accidents and problems thrown in his face, and he always finds a way to make things better. Well, at least he finds ways to make things bearable. 
 Mark is a really unique character, and super cool to read about! He has a unique sense of humor that makes you laugh even in the worst situations. 
 [On Earth]: "He turned to Venkat. "I wonder what he's (Mark) thinking right now."" 
 [On Mars]: "How come Aquaman can control whales? They're mammals! Makes no sense." 
 And that's a part of a chapter! 
 Or even when he crashed outside, and broke a piece of his helmet 
 "It seemed to work well. The seal looked strong and the resin was rock-hard. I did, however, glue my hand to the helmet." 
 And that part just drags on for half a page, it made me laugh so much hahaa! 
 The other part of this book consists of people on Earth and in space trying to organize and coordinate a rescue mission for Mark. This part was kinda crazy, in my opinion. You had the whole world rooting for one guy on mars. It really makes you think about all kinds of things... 
 What I found amazing was that Mark never gave up. He never thought 'oh, I'm on Mars for over a year and a half, what are the chances of my survival? Oh well". He always pushed through, and I thought that that was quite exceptional. 
 I know my review is quite short, but I have to go and teach myself integration now (uh oh!). 
 I'm giving this a 4/5 feathers!
