I skimmed over alot of the technical/science-y stuff because usually there was a summary later on ("so basically, I'm screwed" or "so it's not as bad as I thought") Haha.

I might watch the movie, though. Glad you enjoyed it and that the factual side made it believeable. I can't imagine being stranded on a planet all by yourself. So lonely. </3Nerdy Procrastinatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04107121403768062081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168132027607016845.post-77241099899496163142015-04-06T17:51:49.001+12:002015-04-06T17:51:49.001+12:00I wasn't sure whether it still hit the mark fo...I wasn't sure whether it still hit the mark for you but after seeing your rating, I'm putting all doubts aside lol.

This one just seemed to lend itself to this format because I was talking away in my head!

It didn't hurt that I was a space geek when I was a pre-teen (the moon landing was the summer I turned eleven), so I could even handle the technical stuff. I cannot wait for the movie (and I'm not much of a movie goer either).OnDBookshelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11118403857218410959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168132027607016845.post-11013064450985648892015-04-05T02:43:39.950+13:002015-04-05T02:43:39.950+13:00I really like the way you wrote this as a series o...I really like the way you wrote this as a series of questions with answers. Can I steal that idea sometime?<br />This doesn't appeal to me by the title, cover, or blurb, BUT so many people are saying the same thing and then loving it that I may give it a try.
