Wow, truly kept on the edge of my seat with this one. I saw the movie first, and it just does not do the book justice. To be clear, the movie got the tone 100% right, which was an awesome discovery, but the whole adventure was way more involved than the movie could ever have expressed. Easily a favorite - I’ll definitely have to read more Andy Weir now.
