Just finished reading THE MARTIAN by Andy Weir. What a ripoff! At no point in nearly 400 pages do we see a single Martian!

On the serious side, I enjoyed it. The main character had a snarky sense of humor which I liked. I will say I found it a tad hard to believe he didn't lose his cool more often. Considering the circumstances, it'd certainly be understandable! I don't care if Mark Watney is a trained astronaut. He's stranded on Mars with limited supplies and nobody on Earth knows he's alive. The man should be shitting bricks! I'm not a techie by any stretch so the scientific details of how he survives on Mars were a little lost on me. Still, the protagonist is an admitted Chicago Cubs fan so how could I not root for him?

TM is a pretty fast read. Only a need a few days to get through it. Very curious to see the film version though I must admit to being very disappointed that MAAAAAAAAAATT DAAAAAAAAMON was cast as Watney. If only they'd let me run Hollywood.
