Customer Review

LHomme landed on Mars several times already, we are here to mission Ares 3. But on the sixth day of their arrival, a dust storm devastates the camp and let our Hero botanist to death.
The rest of the crew embarks on latterrisseur and leave the red planet with less déquipage member Mark Watney

It does not disassemble and reacts like a real American is leaving no way knocking down and seeking by all means to survive four years of Martian solitude, with very inadequate reserves of water, doxygène, food and of energy.

For four years the mission happen Watney Ares 4. But will also get to the point of landing this mission because he also lost all means to prevent the Earth from its present troubles.
Quimporte, all this is just one simple problem dingénierie McGiver our Martian will solve in a good mood frank, quite sarcastic humor and forcefully documented technical details.

In any case this is what the log entries reveal qualimente Watney, suddenly we almost never naurons access to the feelings of the wrecked, his doubts or even the reasons why keep.
Fortunately the author enriches its history by including the Earth soon detects changes on the site and also trying his side to come to the aid of his Marsonaute.
This is now an entire planet that will be hung on this incredible adventure, because the trials and unexpected will be many on the road to Mark Watney.

It comes again of a self-published novel which found favor with na dun editor that due to specious success that he met online. It must indeed be recognized that the highly technical content of the book and the little dempathie for the main character aroused by the narration nen not make a good novel in the sense "classic" theme.

The right question is rather whether this has affected the American public, is the combination of a great realism and the opening of new horizons to a planet more and smaller?
Or it just comes dun book that met a niche audience, techies, particularly numerous in the United States?

For me it is far time or a simple succession of facts, even cosmic, enough to entertain me. I need more. If this is also your case, I would recommend the doeuvre leader Kim Stanley Robinson on the Red Planet: Mars red.
A fairly technical reading but it also has many more characters and more dempathie generates.
Read American.
