Review
Watney’s gallows humour and his brushes with death as he uses every ounce of his intelligence and astronaut’s training to claw his way out of the pit will have you laughing and gasping by turns. I read this book in a weekend. I didn’t think I’d have the time to – but Andy Weir’s edge-of-the-seat storytelling didn’t leave me any choice. — Richard Madeley, Richard and Judy Book Club
Andy Weir’s terrific ‘lost in space’ novel is an absolute page turner from first to last … Tautly-written, full of extraordinary and fascinating detail about life in a frozen red desert so far from home, The Martian is one of the best thrillers either of us has read in years. Highly recommended. — Judy Finnigan, Richard and Judy Book Club
The best book I’ve read in ages. Clear your schedule before you crack the seal. This story will take your breath away faster than a hull breech. Smart, funny, and white-knuckle intense, The Martian is everything you want from a novel. — Hugh Howey ― New York Times bestselling author of Wool
Accomplished…believable but suspenseful as [Watney] battles against the odds for survival ― The Guardian
like Gravity meets Robinson Crusoe – utterly nail-biting and memorable. — James Lovegrove ― FT
