| Book Review: The Martian: A Novel by Andy Weir |
Today I would like to talk about “The Martian:
A Novel”. It is my latest addition in the list of “Books Our Best Friend: Books
To Read”.
Author Andy Weir takes the readers on a never
before journey in the book “The Martian: A Novel”. In the book he describes
about an Astronaut Mark Watney who made history when he became the first person
to land on Mars.
The author then describes that the astronaut
will have another feat to his name as and when he becomes the first person to
die there.
Astronaut landed on the red planet along with
his crew members. Soon a storm raged the area and everyone thought Mark is
killed. Mark finds himself completely alone and stranded as his crew left him
behind mistaking him to be dead.
Mark does not have anything to send an
indication back to earth that he is alive. Moreover, he will soon be over with
his supplies much before any help could arrive.
Andy Weir, the author of the book “The Martian:
A Novel” went on to describe that it is also possible that he will not be able
to live long to starve to death. The old friend of humans, “Humans Error”,
unforgiving environment or damaged machinery will most likely make him their
prey first before starvation.
However, Mark has not given up to his
situations. His refusal to quit, backed by his engineering skills and ingenuity
may help him find some way out.
