レビュー

• ヘイルメアリーファン必読！

  プロジェクト・ヘイル・メアリーが面白かったので、これも挑戦しました。序盤は孤独なサバイバルですが、充分面白いです。途中から地球の人々、元の宇宙船のクルーも加わって、もっと面白くなりました。個人的にはヘイルメアリーより好きです。あれを気に入った人にはオススメです！

• Good science fiction, made me want to open some old textbooks!

  A great book! The science behind each scene is quite interesting, and informative as well. With background in aeronautics, I enjoyed the adventures described and even wished I had studied chemistry more diligently back in college.

• Not too bad a read

  It wasn't a bad read. If you don't mind a solitary style (One man alone for many months) story this is a good read. Helps us understand the harsh realities of being forced to live in a harsh environment where any small miscalculation could result in death at any moment. I recommend this book.

• came quickly

  all ok came quickly

• Fast-paced easy to read yet thoughtful at the same time

  Written by a man who has done his research and given much thought to detail while at the same time bringing humour in at the right times to keep the reader on their toes. While there may not be a series from this I look forward to reading future works by the author.

• Fantastic novel

  If this book doesn't make you want to be cleverer than you are, you should be ashamed of yourself. It's a thrill ride and an argument for proper education at the same time. Buy it and read it! What am I going to do now that I've finished it?

• 困難な環境に置かれた主人公が悪態をつきつつ乗り越える

  一人困難な環境に置かれ悪態をつく。至極当然でそれが痛快さにつながる。 この点で汚い言葉を嫌う人にはお勧めできない。 （邦訳では緩和された表現になっている可能性があるが、）魔女探しをしだした人に向けて言う悪態が熱い。 もちろん表現としては”えー”と思う暴言だけど言葉は感情の発露なのです。その環境も想像して読み進めてほしい。

• SF小説なんだけど、とても人間性を感じさせる感じさせられた。

  次から次へとわき起こる難題に、けしてへこたれず問題解決していくMark Watneyの生き方にすごく惹かれました。 この問題はどうやって解決するんだ・この後どうなるんだと・・・最後の最後まで問題だらけの火星上での生活に果敢に（どちらかというとoptimismと思えるほど）挑戦していく彼に声援を送りながら読みすすめていきました。 火星上における彼の心理と彼を置き去りにしてしまった宇宙船乗組員の心理、また地球で彼を見守り救助への方策を巡らす彼の上司達・仲間達の様子を交互に映し出す書き方も効を奏して、この話をおもしろくしています。（㊟あえて小説、物語とは書きません。それよりもっと現実感が有ります） とにかく、SFにしては妙に人間くさい、そんなところに感動するお話です。（やっぱ、人間っていいな）ってところかな。 できれば原作で読むことをおすすめします。「まっことアメリカ人」って感じられるから。

• The kind of Sci-fi book I love to read! Amazing is the word.

  Fantastic book. I have watched the movie first, then started reading Project Hail Mary and ordered this book. The quality of the paper and binding is also good. Also arrived in good condition. However it was supposed to be delivered home. For some reason I had to collect it from a service point. I think it was a mistake by the courier. So I would still go with a five star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.

• Źle zapakowana przesyłka

  Przesyłka uszkodzona, źle zapakowana. Okładka poniszczona już na starcie.

• Hats-off Andy!!

  There are a few rare books that you come across in your life that make you go – oh my gosh, this book is f*****g amazing!! The Martian by Andy Weir is exactly that kinda book. The premise is pretty simple actually. In the not-so-distant future, NASA has a crew of six astronauts on a manned mission to MARS (called Ares 3, so this is not the first). They land and everything’s dandy for 6 sols (Martians days) but right upon which a sandstorm hits. Our protagonist, Mark Watney, gets hits over by the wind and the other crew mates, presuming him dead perform an emergency exit off the planet. Only, he’s not really dead. He wakes up covered in sand to a dead planet. No humans around, no contact with NASA, and no way to get off the planet. Will he survive? And if yes, how?? But more importantly, what does this realization do to the humanity back on Earth? The book reads like a hard science-fiction and that’s not entirely a bad thing. If anything, it only lends more credibility to the narrative and all the wild science-y solutions that Mark Watney pulls out of his hat. But picture this, you’re the only living thing on an entire planet that is thousands of kilometers from Earth. No one knows you’re alive, and even if they do they’re pretty much helpless. What would one do? I thought hard about this, picturing myself in Mark’s situation. Of course he’s a trained astronaut and a botanist and I’m a…well, the point here is that where most people would have succumbed to the hopelessness of the entire thing, he fights and fights and fights some more!! And how! One moment you’re screaming your hearts out ‘NOOOOO! HE’S A DEAD MAN!’ and then Mark comes right up and says he’s gonna be alright. And you heave a big sigh of relief muttering to yourself cheerfully, ‘The bloody bastard’s gonna be fine!‘ That’s pretty much how most of the read went for me. And I have mention here that the author Andy Weir is brilliant! The kind of picture he paints of Mars, down till the smallest detail and the explanation to the various experiments conducted our protagonist – the science is all mostly accurate! And it amazes me for the kind of research and effort he had put into in crafting the entire book. I heard him say that he had to actually write a computer program himself to figure out how many days it would take for a spacecraft to travel from Earth to Mars. Yes, everything’s that calculated. So when Mark throws numbers and formulas at your face, it’s crazy to think that it’s all real. And that’s one more thing about this book, how utterly possible everything feels. This is not fantasy. The events and catastrophes featured in this book can actually happen in real life. That’s one more tangent my mind goes off to often, how would we react if something like this were to happen in reality? Wouldn’t the social media go absolutely crazy!? Wouldn’t there be numerous religious groups praying for his safety! And to say nothing of our protagonist himself. The large reason the book works despite the hard science is Mark’s sense of humor. I would put it somewhere close to Chandler Bing in that aspect. But he is not a brooder, he is a doer! And he cracks some amazing jokes throughout his journey. By the end of the book, you’ll really come to love this fellow. The other supporting cast are all well-etched out too. As an Indian, it was nice to see the character Venkat Kapoor as a high ranking NASA official (The name’s odd though. Kapoor is a North Indian surname while Venkat is definitely a Southie thing). I also loved the entire crew of Hermes. Especially Commander Lewis with her disco addiction. Andy Weir has struck gold with his first feature novel, and deservedly so. Books like this, they’re every bookworm’s kryptonite.

• Best book I have ever read in my life, hands down. PLEASAE BUY, Feel free to ask questions!

  FEEL FREE TO ASK ME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BOOK! I would like to start this review with a note that is both a positive and a negative. I do not read any book, this is because I am never captivated and cant really empathize with the character and I never feel like I am there. But on to the review. "About this version of the product* The book came to me in pristine condition it was truly breath-taking how beautiful the cover is. The book is well sized and honestly this is one of if not the most beautiful and durable books I've bought. There is also a map in the beginning which is awesome since I was cross referencing it so much which made me feel very immersed. *About the book SPOILER FREE PART* The Martian is the most well written, funny, serious, and emotional book I have ever read. This is in part because of the amazing writing. Mark Watney is a charismatic, smart, and resourceful man. In the face of adversity he always manages to crack a witty joke that always made me chuckle or just burst out laughing (No im not psychotic, i don't think). The writing makes you really feel like you know mark which is one reason why you empathize and really feel for him. The Atmosphere is great really selling the barren expanse and devastating loneliness of the Martian lands. *Note: I found that using some noise cancelling headphones and playing some white noise, like the wind, really helped to sell the effect of being on mars*. After only a few pages I had a very clear picture of how it looked at the HAB and I only wish I could take a picture of my thoughts. The story jumps between the perspectives of Mark Watney on mars, Nasa and JPL on earth, and the crew on Hermes the space station the went to and from mars on. *General Consensus* I should have added some photos, including my favourite quotes. This is the best book I've read. I'm so sad its over yet so happy I've experienced it. Andy Weir is my new favourite author and i will be purchasing more of his novels no doubt. Please do yourself a favour and read this book. I cannot recommend it enough. 1000000 / 10 *LIGHT SPOILERS, what happens at the beginning* The book is about the main character Mark Watney's journey surviving mars after being abandoned there by his crew. What happened Watney and his crew consisting of, Lewis the commander, Vogel, Beck, Martinez, and Johanssen were six days into a 52 day mission on mars where they would gather science and conduct experiments when suddenly a large storm hit. The storm was so bad they had to evacuate but on their way to the MAV (Mars Ascent Vehicle) mark is struck by debris and is lost. The crew cannot find him and assuming he is dead abort without him. Mark wakes up and makes it back to the HAB, where he will live for the next (wont spoil how long) number of sols. He has a lot of problems along the way but manages to fix them in amazingly creative ways, I mean I cannot stress enough how glued my eyes were to the pages intrigued and worried about what would happen next. I wont spoil any more of the end because it would ruin how heart-breaking and heart-making (if that's a saying) a lot of the moments were.
