Thank you to Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read this book. I'm sorry I really am,I really REALLY wanted to like it and I could lie and tell you I did but I really didn't and I was always told honesty is the best policy (but please don't hate me,I'm a fragile soul) I had heard amazing things about this book but for me it fell flat. It made me cringe which is half the reason why I just didn't enjoy it. It wasn't for me that is all,but I promise there are so many people out there that adore this book unfortunately I just wasn't one of them.

The Franchise has Lost its Direction
My partner adores the Fast and Furioue movies so I've seen them all many times. This one, however, just felt like they ran out of ideas. The cast was ace as always but the plot was lacking it was played off as a mystery 'why did Dom betray his people' etc. But to be honest it was just plain confusing. Everything starts to make sense towards the second half but the storyline certainly wasn't fleshed out well, it felt a bit like they pulled a bunch of pieces from the editing floor and just mashed them together. The fact is the movies aren't really about cars and racing anymore and that's truly sad. I don't have high hopes for the next one that is in the works that's for sure...

Just Epic :)
[edit]
I loved everything about this book, Watney's sense of humour is golden and I love how he never reacts to a situation like you would expect a normal person to. Instead of breaking down and being dramatic (not every human reacts like this!!) he just accepts that s**t happens and moves on, that's a pretty admirable trate in a person. Not only did I enjoy the way the story was told through his logs but also through different points of view, I also enjoyed how incredibly scientific the book was, it's all reasonably accurate science too which is refreshing, most sci fi books drift into the realm of impossibly and become outright ridiculous but this kept the science pretty on point which is impressive. If you're a space nerd with a dry sense of humour (like me) I'd highly recommend reading this, it's an amazing book :)
