I wrote a review about this book in January and it remains one of my faves. I tell you about it again in September because my 8th grader and I were invited to see the movie on Monday and we both thought it was fantastic! The movie will be released in theaters on October 2nd so you have less than two weeks to read it….you won’t be disappointed. The movie was mostly true to the book and was fascinating to both me and my middle schooler. Matt Damon is great as Mark Watney! I give the book and the movie both solid A’s!
