The Martian by Andy Weir

I had not even heard about the hype of this book when I picked it up. I was consumed by the story. An astronaut left for dead on Mars and having to try to survive. Sounds incredible! Mark Watney, the stranded astronaut, was funny. I totally enjoyed his sense of humor. It's hard to imagine that one could be funny after being left on Mars, but Watney captures your attention. I loved the book so much, I couldn't wait to see the movie. I totally recommend it.
