"The Martian" by Andy Weir is a sci-fi novel that's about how one of the six astronauts were left on Mars. Watney is a mechanical engineer and a botanist and he has to find a way to survive on Mars alone. So the whole book is about how things go wrong and how he fixes them.
The novel is written in an easy to read way and it's full of humor and action. I loved reading it because I've never read any sci-fi before. Some scientific and technical procedures and terms were unfamiliar to me, however I think I definitely learned something new.
I did love this book also because it had a very well developed story line with clear beginning and ending and it gave me a sense of satisfaction. The only negatives were the fact that the book was quite predictable in a way that all the problems got solved and I knew that everything will end just fine.
