The Martian by Andy WeirMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Yes, I know, I gave this the same rating as Jane Eyre, but it's a completely different system for genre fiction. If this were classical literature I'd rate it much lower. As an adventure and science fiction book, it's solidly entertaining. I was rooting for the plucky main character, Mark Watney. Am I to believe such an ingenious astronaut would really have been single back on Earth? No, I don't buy that. But all the crazy space shenanigans and the techno-babble were totally believable.
