Martian summer

As far as learning about the Phoenix Lander on Mars, it was pretty good. I would have liked more details on the hardware and especially the data processing, but I'm a software engineer and not the target audience.
But the authors writing style was irritating. It was told in first person.
Parts of this, like telling what it felt like to live on Mars time, were relevant and interesting.
But I don't care if he feels like he is part of the team or has bonded with the team leaders.
