I’m so glad you came back to let me know, Layla. Even more, I’m glad you seem to have enjoyed it as much as I did. There’s something immensely satisfying having happened upon a good book almost by accident, isn’t there? I hope your husband enjoys it, too. Be sure to let us know if he comes up with any rescue scenario as compelling as The Martian’s. Or wait, maybe you’ll save it for your own book. In which case, let us know when it comes out! 😀

I noticed this book while I was at the grocery store the other day — I don’t even remember the last time I bought a book from the bestseller aisle in the grocery store, wtf — but I remembered reading this review of it, so I picked it up and I absolutely devoured it. I hadn’t even heard of it otherwise, but it was really great and now I need to shove it at my husband to read! (He’s been playing Kerbal Space Program, a game that basically amounts to building and launching rockets to complete various space “missions” including rescuing lost astronauts and so forth, so he’s already primed for this kind of thing …)

What a con! Was all excited for a minute, but not buying that. Flippin false advertising… *grumble grumble*
