This is a book I immediately went out and bought for my personal collection so that I can read it anytime I want.<br /><br />I saw the movie in theaters, and we all know that the majority of the time the book is better than the movie. That holds true here. The book is full of extra details about Mark's struggles with his garden of potatoes and travels in his modified rover. The movie glossed over or completely omitted some major elements of the book, so reading it felt like a new but familiar adventure. Even though I knew how the book would end, I couldn't put it down.<br /><br />If you've already seen the movie, that is no excuse to not read the book. They're similar, but the book has so much more that it will still feel new and exciting. I would recommend this for anyone interested in space travel and exploration.<br /><br />ACSACShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15177825401153601097noreply@blogger.com
