Description

Mark Watney finds himself stranded on the desolate surface of Mars, abandoned after a failed space mission. Convinced that he perished, his crewmates escape back to Earth, leaving him to confront the stark realities of survival on a harsh, unwelcoming planet. With limited supplies and the daunting prospect of isolation, he must rely on his ingenuity and resilience to endure the unthinkable.

As he navigates the challenges of Martian life, Watney employs his scientific training to cultivate crops, generate water, and communicate with mission control. The struggle for survival is fraught with danger, but his wit and determination drive him to seek hope against all odds. The gripping tale balances the tension of life-or-death decisions with moments of humor, illustrating the human spirit's capacity to persevere in the face of overwhelming adversity. Watney's journey becomes a testament to the power of resourcefulness and the will to survive.

Rating: 4.75Read: May 8, 2016Reread: Jan 22, 2018Reread: May 19, 2019Still adore this book. And the audiobook is so much fun. 10/10 do recommend.Reread: Aug 28, 2020Started a reread early in the year at the start of the pandemic as a bedtime book and dug deep into the reread during the second wave of civil unrest late August. 2020 has been... a year, but the compassion and hope that embodies this book, along with the sarcastic humor, has been a light for me and the occasional break I really needed.Reread: March 1, 2022Hm I wonder what catastrophic event led to me reading my favorite comfort read that makes me feel hopeful about humanities' goodness?Reread: Jan 17, 2023I was in a ton of pain and reached for my comfort read. But early in the year for this reread lol

Good preliminary read before having to read it for school next semester.
