The voice of Watney was awesome and hilarious, he was the whole reason I kept reading, I think, and the story was great too. I actually think in some ways I might end up preferring the film because this book did get too technical for my liking at times. That may not be a popular opinion, but it's true. But I am glad I read the book first because it was amazing, I don't think I would have felt the same motivation to rad after seeing the film.Becky Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938602345709426466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6453297741187148882.post-73385385385897752922015-09-21T23:07:44.649-04:002015-09-21T23:07:44.649-04:00I REALLY need to read this book!

His amusing remarks made it so much better I think, than had he been too serious. Your notable quotes are ones I mostly highlighted, they are some of the best!
