The Martian is a cool novel about an astronaut named Mark Watney. He gets left behind on Mars by his crew, and everyone thinks he's gone for good. But he's got to be super smart and figure out how to stay alive with not much stuff. It's like a big adventure where he has to use his brain to survive on Mars.

I really liked The Martian because it's a thrilling space adventure, where Mark Watney's clever problem-solving on Mars keeps you hooked. The book is full of unexpected twists and turns, and it teaches you never to give up when things get tough. Overall, it's a truly inspiring and captivating read.

The Martian is recommended for fans of exciting adventures and science enthusiasts who enjoy space, problem-solving, and smart protagonists; however, it may not be suitable for those who dislike science, detailed explanations, or technical content. Overall, it's a thrilling read for those up for an adventure.

You should absolutely read Andy Weir's "Artemis" if you enjoyed the thrilling science and survival elements in "The Martian." It takes place on the Moon and follows a smart main character as they deal with a theft. Like "The Martian," it's jam-packed with interesting science facts, clever solutions, and pleasant surprises. If you like space exploration, you'll like it.
