“The Martian” is a Science Fiction novel by Andy Weir. The story follows Mark Watney who is stranded on Mars. Mark is a funny guy who constantly makes jokes. “I spent the rest of my day enjoying a potato. And by ‘enjoying’ I mean ‘hating so much I want to kill people’”. This is an interesting contrast to the setting which is a nice break from the seriousness of the story. The Martian is an amazing book which is able to blend so many topics together, it is funny but also can be sad and scary however Andy Weir is able to blend these topics together with ease and make a masterpiece of a book. The Martian is an amazing read with an awesome character, funny interactions, and thrilling story.
