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.

Oh my god, this was such a good read! I was extremely annoyed at having to put it down in order to get some sleep...Fantastic edge of seat stuff. Loved every word

Best book of 2015 so far I loved it Mark Watney is hilarous
