DNF I didn't care for this. It was too unbelievable and too corny. So, not for me.

Als Ryland Grace erwacht, muss er feststellen, dass er ganz allein ist. Er ist anscheinend der einzige Überlebende einer Raumfahrtmission, Millionen Kilometer von zu Hause entfernt, auf einem Flug ins Tau-Ceti-Sternsystem. Aber was erwartet ihn dort? Und warum sind alle anderen Besatzungsmitglieder tot? Nach und nach dämmert es Grace, dass von seinem Überleben nicht nur die Mission, sondern die Zukunft der gesamten Erdbevölkerung abhängt.

Enjoyable little space romp, well worth your time.
I've never learned so much science in my entire life. Thank the stars that Grace was a 5th grade teacher.
I'm not crying, you're crying.
"A fórmula de El Marciano repítese de xeito demasiado evidente. Resulta entretido, e con coñecementos de ensino secundario podes desfrutar lembrando aquelas asignaturas de física e química. Parecese que entendes algo."
"O libro é fácil de ler, podes ler aos poucos sen problema de perder o fío da historia xa que non ten dobleces no argumento, nin significados ou reflexións que requiran un nivel de concentración elevado."
A really fun, fast read!
This was OK - not bad, but I expected it to be better. Part of the premise is that a scientist discovers a threat that will cause a climate disaster and destroy civilization as we know it. After that discovery, world governments come together, spare no expense, and allow some pretty severe actions to solve the problem. In light of recent world history, that seems unlikely to me.
Gave up. The amnesia/ suddenly remembering stuff as required really bugged me.
In taking a much larger scope than the Martian, repeating the same formula failed to entertain or engross me, instead the tricks and slick solutions to improbably back-tracked premises seemed to go a long way to nowhere.
A great read, especially for those interested in science and space travel.
This one is better than The Martian. The language is simple, but not offensive.
It's a very fun read.
As with The Martian, this book is over the top with the heroic solutions to unsolvable problems, but it was still fantastic.
Another enjoyable journey into Andy Weir's speculative science fiction. Perhaps even more implausible overall but still fun to consider details.
Couldn't put it down =)
Disappointing after all the hype. Kind of cartoonish, like a prepubescent male space fantasy (very very minor spoilers): “and then this GREAT BIG PROBLEM came from space, and these mysterious Secret World Government people came and kidnapped me to work on it, and I became SUPER IMPORTANT, and I got to go to SPACE to SAVE THE WHOLE WORLD and I'm the ONLY ONE who can do it, and I get to have ADVENTURES and SOLVE PROBLEMS with my knowledge of junior-high physics and then MORE REALLY COOL STUFF, and then uh-oh the whole mission is in DANGER, and did I mention that only I can save the WORLD?” All it’s missing is SPACE LASERS, PEW PEW PEW. There’s even sex, or at least acknowledgment of the existence thereof in a way that seems cringeworthy to anyone over the age of twelve.
The science itself was surprisingly sloppy. I won’t …

The science itself was surprisingly sloppy. I won’t go into details because therein be spoilers, but sheesh. I was expecting much better from the author of [b:The Martian|18007564|The Martian|Andy Weir|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1413706054l/18007564.SY75.jpg|21825181]. Each of the many mistakes were elementary, and should have been caught in the earliest drafts.
That said, it was fun in a bubblegum sort of way: thrilling space adventures, and problem-solving, and Valuable Lessons on the Importance of Paying Attention In School Because You Never Know When You Might Have to Save the Planet. Worth reading, but be prepared for some serious suspension of disbelief—no, not the space stuff, I mean the part where all the countries and peoples on Earth unite to fight a grave threat. No deniers, no republicans claiming fake news. That was a little hard to swallow... but damn, what a sweet fantasy.
El libro ha estado muy bien es una historia muy interesante que creo que me ha aportado bastanate
