As somehow who is hopelessly in love with Matt Damon, I purchased this book less than an hour after I saw the movie. To my surprise, not only did the movie version nail most of the details from the book, both versions were funny and dramatic in their own way–and props to Andy Weir for this being his debut novel. Read and watch both versions, you won’t be disappointed (unless of course you also think Matt Damon getting nominated for Best Actor is bogus–he’s on my “list” and even I don’t think he should be up there for this).
