The Martian Book to Movie | Review

The Martian

“I Started the day with some nothin’ tea. Nothin’ tea is easy to make. First, get some hot water, then add nothin’. I experimented with potato skin tea a few weeks ago. The less said about that the better.”

Being late to the party as I always am, I finally got around to reading The Martian after hearing so many good things about it around the interwebs. Seeing as the DVD is coming out in a few days, I decided to be super relevant and promote the shit out of this FANTASTIC book and film.

The story features Mark Watney, an astronaut (and more importantly a Botanist) who is on Mars as part of the Ares 4 Mission when a sandstorm forces the team to leave. However, Mark is impaled, thought dead and has to be left behind.

More Than This by Patrick Ness | Book Review


 “We have to lie to ourselves to live. Otherwise, we’d go crazy.” 

I don’t even know where to begin with this book. My sisters (thanks guys) gave it to me for my birthday, and in the height of procrastination, I figured it was time to read it, and thank god I did. This god damned book bundled me up into a little ball and shook me about until I was pretty much taken over with emotion.
