Mark Watney è stato uno dei primi astronauti a mettere piede su Marte. Ma il momento di gloria è durato troppo poco. Un’improvvisa tempesta lo ha quasi ucciso e i suoi compagni di spedizione, credendolo morto, hanno abbandonato il pianeta rosso per fare ritorno sulla Terra. Mark si ritrova completamente solo su un pianeta inospitale e non ha nessuna possibilità di mandare un segnale alla base. E in ogni caso i viveri non basterebbero ?fino all’arrivo di una nuova spedizione. Nonostante tutto, con grande risolutezza Mark decide di tentare il possibile per sopravvivere. Ricorrendo alle sue conoscenze scientifiche e a una gran dose di ottimismo e tenacia, decide di affrontare un problema dopo l’altro senza perdersi d’animo. Fino a quando gli ostacoli si faranno insormontabili…

I have no idea why I didn’t read this book earlier. It is a fantastic story that kept me reading until I was done (a day and a half!).
I’ve always wanted to take a trip into space, but certainly not if it ends up like Mark’s.
I went in with the understanding this was a book about a bunch of whatif science problems so enjoyed it. The author did a good job of keeping things moving forward without getting too bogged down in detail. The structure of the story meant the protagonist was maybe the most upbeat superhuman I’ve met so it there was no emotional stakes but that was by design.

The Martian still rocks. It has everything that I love in those YouTube video where they walk you through their process of making a cool new machine (youtube.com/watch?v=vsTTXYxydOE&feature=share).
A few times throughout the book, Mark’s plans went out the airlock and he expresses his frustration and hopelessness to the log. Then in the next log, he’s back to working the problem. He decides to survive “off camera” and I think that we missed an essential part of his character.
Obwohl ich den Film schon kannte und wusste was passiert war das Hörbuch doch bin zum Ende spannend und fesselnd.
And probably at least semi realistic? Didn't like it as much as Project Hail Mary by the same author. This sorta read as a sequence of "oh crap, another thing went wrong" problems, followed by solutions. I'm certain this is realistic - or even still overly optimistic, given what they were surviving through - but kinda made for an overly long, repetitive narrative. I suspect this is part of why they cut some of these out of the movie (and to save time, but also it got repetitive). Nevertheless, a fun read if you enjoy sci-fi that sticks close to contemporary science.
读完这本书是几年以前的事了，我记得我是在Kindle上读的，也记得读到(.Y.)时的大笑不止。主角乐观幽默的性格让整个旅程都相当有趣。
