I have seen The Martian, but this is the first time I am trying a work by Weir. Given the high acclaim, I had high expectations, but it fell flat, and the writing quality leaves a lot to be desired. I was surprised at the amount of cringy, unfunny jokes and bad jokes based on stereotypes. It's 2021 and it's sad that we still doing the bit about foreigners working in sciences not speaking good English. They can figure out all this hard science, but apparently English Garmmar is insurmountable. I just can't with bad grammar to show accent.
I personally didn't enjoy the ending, as I felt it could have been fleshed out more. The last paragraph read just like the last scene from a screenplay. However, even with all its flaws, it's a quick enjoyable read and the plot is way too Intresting to make you stop reading. The middle part in space is really enjoyable.
I will definitely watch the movie (I am sure it will be fantastic) and try more works from the author. I just can't rate it higher though. The writing quality is just not there.
