The book was… okay. It’s an interesting story, I like sci-fi, but the author goes into way too much detail about all the scientific processes of how he survives. I’m sure some people really enjoy that detail, but it really wasn’t for me. I found myself skipping over paragraphs because I don’t care how he gets the water thing working, I just wanna know that he did get it working so I can move on and read more of the story.
If you’re an engineer who enjoys the nitty-gritty details of how a fictional astronaut could survive on Mars, you will enjoy this book. I can appreciate the book for what it’s worth, but yeah, just not for me.
