Has anyone else read this? If not please do! I absolutely loved this book and need to discuss it...possibly with an astrophysicist. I'm really interested in whether the scientific bits in the story were accurate. They seemed very viable but maybe that was just extremely clever writing by Andy Weir.

I managed to get this for £5 from my local supermarket. I definitely recommend it :)

Jules | 8 comments I loved it! I picked it up on kindle for something like 77p and it took me a while to get around to reading it but I am so glad I did. Considering it is about just one man (with a supporting cast of several) it was an edge of your seat ride. I laughed out loud when he stuck himself to his space suit whilst trying to repair it after blowing the air lock. Brilliant!

Charlotte Jones (ramblingsofanelfpire) I've just finished this book and absolutely loved it. Probably one of my new favourites! It was so realistic and emotional but funny at the same time and I just loved the characters

I was able to pick this up for my Kindle over the holiday, thanks to a gift card from my boss, for right around $2.50. I'm very excited and hope to start it in February for my Sci-Fi read.
