Short Review: The Martian

I just finished reading a great book entitled The Martian written by an author by the name of Andy Weir. This book is fantastic if you're a science fiction reader or just somebody interested in space exploration. It goes through the whole concept of evidence of shorelines and that Mars was once an Earth-like world but is now a dead planet.
It's not quite like the movie Mission to Mars but it's similar as it has future astronauts traveling to the red planet. I think it's a little bit more exciting than that movie, to be honest.
It's sort of a survival story of how astronauts would survive or live on Mars after landing on it to explore. My biggest problem with this novel is that the characters are a little bit underdeveloped. We don't see a whole plethora of complex differing personalities. But the story makes up for it.
I highly recommend this book. Pick it up in bookstores or at Amazon.com.
Also be sure to check out my latest novel, The Jewels of the Ishamah. Now available on Amazon for the low price of $4.99.
