#36: The Martian

While traveling to Wisconsin, our family listened to an audiobook version of The Martian by Andy Weir.  We went to this movie when it came out and really enjoyed it.  Thought it would be a good one to listen to.

It was good, but we should have checked the language first.  ;)  The first sentence had about 3 "f" words in it.  And the rest of the book had it countless times.  Luckily the only word Norah picked up on was "shit".

It was still a very good story.  Wesley asked why he cusses so much and we said "If you were stuck on Mars, you probably would too".

I loved the story.  This is the first time I didn't fall asleep during an audio book.  This is really surprising since it had a lot of boring science talk.  I think it's probably because I had seen the movie and somewhat knew what was happening.  I was also picturing Matt Damon the whole time.  :)

Great story.  The boys want to read the book again when they are a little older.
