    I give it a 9. I loved all of the technical discussions of figuring out how to try to survive. The book had no fluff, no unnecessary romances, etc. I guess having a math background made it more enjoyable for me. And I think Matt Damon is a perfect choice for the movie. He's gonna be great.

    Thanks for that. I can convert that PDF file to epub and read it on my Nook.

    I ordered the S/L on the strength of opinion from members here. I've only found the book in stores in Large Print format and way later paperback printings.

    I enjoyed it. I think it will be a hit.

    Science is significantly "dumbed down" to make it more accessible to the average audience goer. I am very glad I read the book before the film. (because I really enjoyed the science)

    I agree - reading the book first was definitely better - put things in a lot better context; you felt his struggle a lot more throughout the book - and they had to take out several important aspects (at least in the book - but I saw the necessity to help the movie flow). The movie was enjoyable - I just liked the book a lot more.

    I'm reading it right now. I always prefer to read the book first.

    I like it. I like science and math and figuring things out.

    I think I'll see the movie next week.

    Finished The Martian last night. I really enjoyed it the Math and science didn't bother me. As long as I don't have to solve equations that doesn't bother me.

    Now just have to track down a first for cheap.

    If I didn't have the earlier signed/limited -- the UK HC -- I'd be all over that one. Looks like the usual slick, beautiful Sub Press job.
