I read this one about 5 and a half months ago. It was an interesting story. I gave it a generous 7 out of 10 pretty much based purely on how the author made the story of an astronaut somehow surviving after being stranded on Mars actually seem plausible. Other than that, I really didn't care for his writing style. He kept trying to make jokes but they were pretty lame and cringey. I would have liked it more if the stranded astronaut had a few real human emotions based on his unfortunate circumstances rather than just making random jokes nonstop. And while I did say I appreciated the plausibility aspect of the novel, it still got pretty tedious ofttimes reading over and over about the excruciating details of how he manipulated some machine and the scientific explanations involved. But at the end of the day, I'm still mostly a fan of a good story more than anything else, and this one was interesting enough for me to enjoy it overall.
