Had this not been recommended to me I would have completely overlooked it. To my brain the title suggests little green men...however, it is not about them at all. The book is a journal of a US astronaut who is stranded on mars and how he manages his limited resources to survive and try to overcome the curveballs the hostile environment throws him. If you enjoy sci-fi, or space exploration, or just science in general it is a fun read. Side note: Ridley Scott is making a movie about it. If it stays true to the book it looks promising. |

I agree. It might be the best book I read last year. The movie looks great as well. |

My wife and I enjoyed it, too. Hadn't heard a word about it until I saw the trailer. The trailer gives away a LOT of the plot, though. |

It was kinda funny to me when I saw this trailer at the movies. I was like, "Hey, Matt Damon sort of did this in Interstellar already....oh, and it's basically Saving Private Ryan, which was also Matt Damon." :lol |
| pbj:
Yeah, but at least Matt Damon isn't a clumsy metaphor for satan in the desert in this one... |
