I made a pretty good dent in The Martian by Andy Weir last night. So far the set up and the storyline is great but the style of writing is absolutely awful. It has the potential to be really tense but it seems to be trying to be light hearted, using words like "booya", which just comes across as annoying. Is it too much to ask for a really miserable book about a man slowly dying alone on a deserted planet?
