Don't get me wrong, I loved the Martian, book and movie (it's one of the most beautiful films, on many different levels), even though Mars doesn't have wind like that. He had to come up with *something* to separate Watney from the crew and once that's done it was pretty easy to move on and enjoy the trip. But the number of times Andy had to do *something* with hail mary... geez after (several) "now-wait-justaminute's" and going back and re-reading section after section just to make sure that yep, he rly went there, yeah it got pretty jarring and made it awful tough to just sit back and enjoy the story. Maybe an audiobook is better indicated for this one. I'll see the movie, and hope for the best.
