Can't get enough of Andy Weir's The Martian? Dive a little deeper into his world, discover hidden treasures, and hang out with Mark Watney just a little longer with this sidekick.
Note: this is an independent companion to The Martian, meant to enhance your experience of the novel. If you have not yet bought Andy Weir's novel, make sure to purchase it before buying this unofficial Sidekick.
Mark Watney wasn't the mission commander of Ares 3, a month-long expedition to Mars. He was just the science geek, botany guru, and mechanical engineer: the lowest guy on the totem pole and the only one who didn't make it back to the ascent vehicle when the storm hit. Left for dead on the surface of a barren planet, Watney must plumb the depths of his considerable ingenuity and resourcefulness to find a way to survive - and to let the people on Earth know he's still alive.
Praised by The Wall Street Journal as "the purest example of real-science sci-fi for many years," The Martian has been on the New York Times best seller list for more than six months. It is Andy Weir's debut novel. With this sidekick, you'll:
- Learn what you might have missed on your first experience of Weir's novel
- Discover some of the book's secret gems and underlying themes
- Explore possible alternate endings and imagine ideas for a prequel
- Spend some more time with the characters you've come to know and love, delving deep into their psyches and hidden motives

Too much speculation of 'what it all means'

Her thoughts on prequels are laughably ridiculous.
What was that?

I suspect the reporter is just jealous that some science nerd wrote a book so good that once he self-published the finished version on the internet, the publishers came running. The whole point of this book is the science! Weir does not ask that you have an advanced physics degree, only that you have a basic science education and the ability to understand his very clear and concise explanations.
At least this book report does acknowledge the research and work that Weir put into creating a realistic scenario, with realistic problems and realistic solutions. Yes, it’s science fiction, but authors who don’t understand science can’t write good science fiction. Report authors who don’t like or understand science shouldn’t write reviews of science fiction books.
Tremendous disapppointment
