![]() ![]() But Watney’s journals are as cheery as they were from the first entry. Being isolated on Mars, not sure if you’ll survive every day and with no guarantee of ever coming back to Earth is sure to have some impact on you, surely. I was expecting a gory, horrifying tale of survival of a man that would surely suffer mental, if not physical scars at the very least. ![]() This is the exact opposite of what I was hoping for. I found that this just removed all tension from the situations that he was going through. Even if it was convoluted, nearly impossible and almost sure to result in death, Watney pulled through without any injury (physical or mental). No matter what terrible thing that Watney was going through, he was sure to pull through and give you a detailed description of how he did it. ![]() ![]() After a few chapters I was just skimming the more technical parts and by the end I was skimming all of the technical parts of what Watney was doing to survive. For me though, it just went straight over my head – and this is no fault of the author, I’m just not very science/chemistry/physics minded. It was evident that a lot of research has gone into this book, and I’m sure some people appreciate the level of detail that has been included. ![]()
