The first chapter is quite difficult to get through but it's worth persevering with. once this gets going it accelerates and gets better and better. In some ways it feels like a throwback to the hard science fiction novels of Arthur C Clarke, or Hal Clement but updated in style. Mark Watney is a likeable engineering genius who you can't fail to root for. Brilliant book!
