Picked up at Barnes and Noble in Tysons Corner one evening on a whim.
A man gets stranded on Mars and everyone thinks he's dead. Through a whole lot of ingenuity and a fair amount of luck, he manages to survive. It's not only a fascinatingly realistic science fiction story (from what I understand, a sizable portion of the science is sound), but the main character is just a lot of fun. He keeps a good attitude through it all, so the reader is free to marvel at his situation and cheer him on. Highly recommended.

I got this book in the annual BCinDC First Line Game! I look forward to reading it someday.
Read and enjoyed this book about a year ago. I liked how astronaut Mark Watney learned how to survive on Mars.
