Yes. 
 Do read. 
 Yes. 
 I knew from the first three lines I was going to love this book, and not once did it disappoint. I love science, and I love science-fiction, and I love wit, and god is this book witty. I can't tell you how many times I laughed out loud (okay it was probably like four times but that's a lot for a really suspenseful story about a poor guy trapped on Mars). 
 I loved this. Goes straight to my top three or so books I've read this year.
