Have you read ‘The Martian" by Andy Weir? We recently read this book and it blew our
socks off! What a great read! This was Mr. Weir’s first book he has ever
written and it did not fail to impress.
In fact, the book’s film rights were sold almost immediately and a film
adaptation will be in theatres this November starring Matt Damon!
The book is about an astronaut who is stranded on Mars after
an exploration mission. What makes this
book so compelling? Weir used actual mathematics
and science to give the reader real examples of what life would be like on the
planet. Temperatures, food growth, space
suits, Mars Rovers, water accumulation and portable living quarters are just
some of the cool things Weir features in this science fiction novel.
The novel places you in the mind of botanist Mark Watney, a
man who was selected for the Mars exploration to determine if food could be
grown on the red planet. Through a
series of unfortunate events, the crew is forced to evacuate and they
accidently leave behind Watney. He his
forced to survive in this rugged planet until a crew can return to retrieve
him. This book combines the perfect mix
of fun, science and suspense.
