The Martian

Very entertaining!

It's sometimes a bit heavy on the scientific stuff, but although it's heavy I found it interesting and insightful.

The story as such is engaging, featuring one mans fight for survival against all odds on a planet that seems intent on killing him.

The character, which carries most of the book, seems believable, at times unlucky, but on the whole a character that I would like to believe isn't entirely fictional in his intelligence, ways of dealing with problems and his general insight into his own psyche and the needs for survival.

I found it very good and have no problem recommending it.
