Funny, suspenseful, with a very particular attention to detail. Very science-oriented, although being a layman, I can't say that it's 100% accurate. But it was certainly a fun ride.<br /><br />Marlene<br /><a href="http://www.lakelbjsales.com" rel="nofollow">Top rated Horseshoe Bay Real Estate</a><br />Marlene Detierrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09035816972520443608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-52631074076134916362015-08-07T21:51:46.991-04:002015-08-07T21:51:46.991-04:00Thank you for the information, I was your loyal vi...Thank you for the information, I was your loyal visitors , and therefore I ask my permission to attach information about the health below , may be useful for all ..<br /><br /><a href="http://ahlinyaobatdiabetes.apotek45.com/" rel="nofollow">Diabetes Information</a><br /><a href="http://ahlinyaobatasamurat.apotek45.com/" rel="nofollow">Asam Urat Information</a><br /><a href="http://ahlinyaobatstroke.apotek45.com/" rel="nofollow">Stroke Information</a><br /><a href="http://obatginjalherbal.com" rel="nofollow">Healty Information</a><br /><a href="http://obathipertensiherbal.com" rel="nofollow">Hipertensi</a><br />HerbalSitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08897983853357425802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-29403796755274651732015-07-30T02:13:09.616-04:002015-07-30T02:13:09.616-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05290246288172301384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-78556300928592428112015-07-28T12:31:48.046-04:002015-07-28T12:31:48.046-04:00I keep going back and forth about whether to read ...I keep going back and forth about whether to read this one or not.

Gran...Oh, I think he showed his downside sometimes. Granted, I've read it in print and listened to it, so I might have been more attuned to nuances the second time around. There are certain entries he makes that are fairly defeatist. The thing is that he isn't down for long. He might have one short entry alluding to his slim chances for survival, and then the next one is him making plans with the full power of his sarcasm and intelligence. <br /><br />This is probably one of my favorite novels I've ever read. He doesn't need character development because really, he needs to worry about the basic survival needs. Character growth happens after those needs are met. The science I adored because it was so easily understood and feasible. Mark's ability to do what needs to be done and cut through the bureaucratic BS to do so makes him a hero in my eyes. It's just a great story with an amazing main character and a top-notch supporting cast.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02160951421693455864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-36592310634843108962015-07-27T11:19:41.050-04:002015-07-27T11:19:41.050-04:00You've picked out some of my favourite quotes!...You've picked out some of my favourite quotes! <3 although as you've said it's so full of gems it's really hard to pick favourites :)<br />I also didn't care about "no character growth". I personally know people who would probably write their Mars diaries in the same style. Maybe he cried in his pillow sometimes, but he understood that it's either keep sane and positive or perish. I don't see a problem with this at all. Also, I like a book that makes me feel good!<br />Looking forward to the movie now :)Arenelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08646965847129179304noreply@blogger.com
