+doddleoddle YES YES SO GOOD! =D
I'M BACK AND I'M SO GLAD YOU MENTIONED THE BOOB BIT
+doddleoddle I especially love the bit when he first realized that he has been adding excess hydrogen to the hab. I know that he was in a very dangerous situation, but I laughed so hard my mom thought I was choking.....
also I replied before I was a fan (that previous comment was my other account). Soo hi Dodie!! big fan of your work!!
doddleoddle IM SO GLAD U READ IT DODIE EEEE
I LOVE how excited you are about this book! If I remember correctly, wasn't Andy Weir in the elevator with us going up to the Random House party???
+Tashapolis I THINK SO XD
soooo.... no disco????
I literally just finished reading The Martian and I'm on a book high. I'm so glad we got off that freaking planet. Oh. My. Gosh. I went straight to your video cause I knew you'd know the feels. GAH I can't wait to watch the movie!!!
+ApocalypticPup
And now me too, it's so late but I'm too excited to sleep XD
Perfect timing! I just finished reading The Martian! :)
MARK WATNEY KING OF MARS.
So glad you read this. WISH I COULD SEE DA MOVIE WITH YOU HOW GREAT WOULD THAT BE.
THIS BOOK IS GREAT. YAY.
+maureenkeavy WISH I COULD SEE DA MOVIE WITH YOU TOOOOOOO. IT'S GONNA BE SO MUCH FUN WHEN TELEPORTATION BECOMES A THING.
SOMEDAY.
MUST. READ. NOW.
*runs away with book*
If sci-fi’s not for you, The Martian is the perfect book for you. It’s surprisingly not about science or space or Mars at all (even though it is) but rather one man’s struggle to stay alive long enough to be rescued. It just so happens the backdrop for his story is Mars. I can’t even count how many times I was laughing out loud, even though I was stressed and worried. I was so taken aback by how much I loved this book. I put this book down several times today intending to stop reading and do something else, but within an hour I was always back to it. Absolutely loved it. I was already excited for the film adaptation, but now the remaining month-long wait seems practically unbearable. But, if Mark Watney can handle over hundreds of sols, what’s another 30-some earth days?
My favorite parts were when Mark did something that threw procedure out the window and then NASA was so pissed.😂
I loved this book SO much! :) Whether or not it was very accurate, the science was super interesting and I was properly gripped all the way through. Also, the whole thing with Commander Lewis' disco music was hilarious! When he sent her the message like, I don't blame you at all for leaving me here, don't feel bad, but WHY DISCO?! :D
The moment I finished reading this book I searched for your booktalk and I didn't find any. Now you have uploaded it and it's funny as always ❤️ I love your videos
I saw the trailer and was sold on the cast alone- Matt Damon, Jessica Chastain, Sebastian Stan, Kate Mara, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Kristen Wigg?! What?! I immediately picked up the book and LOVED it! One of my favorite parts was in chapter 6... I couldn't stop laughing when I read it!
"[Teddy] pondered. 'He's stuck out there. He thinks he's totally alone and that we all gave up on him. What kind of effect does that have on a man's psychology?... I wonder what he's thinking right now."
"Log entry: Sol 61
How come Aquaman can control wales? They're mammals! Makes no sense.'"
I have this book signed by Andy, and only 1000 were signed! It says in the book what number out of 1000 your book was, and he wrote mine as 997! Its so cool, and Im so glad I have it!
Umm Christine ready player one?!?! It needs to happen
AGREES AGRESSIVELY
+Ken Schachter AGREES TOO
YESSSS PLEASEEEE
TOTALLY
The Martian is a freakin spectacular book. Matt Damon better do a spectacular job as Mark Watney. Favorite line: "How come Aquaman can control whales?"
OKAY I NEED TO READ THIS!!! You always seem to have the best book talks 😍
YES! I love that everyone is reading this book now! I loved it so much when I read it last summer but I didn't have any booktalks to watch for it... I am so excited for the movie =PP
These is an AWESOME book talk! In my book talks, I personally love reading some engaging excerpts and giving a bit of info about who the characters are and how the plot caught my interest. Keep up the great work!
This is literally my favorite book of the year! It's the book that got me to try audible, and it will always have a special place in my heart
Yay I am so glad you read this book! There needs to be more love for it on Booktube. IT IS SO GREAT. so funny and just perfectly paced. I just wish the book was a little bit longer or had an epilogue because I want to see more! but yes. so great Mark Watney #KingOfMars
This is by far my favorite book that I've read this year. No other book holds a candle to it. I have the original paperback cover of it with the astronaut, and it's just so pretty. Mark Watney was just a perfect human being in all of his wiseass remarks and genius. I loved reading from the crew and the back and forth between the crew and Mark was just brilliant. I really got the sense of family, which is what a crew should be, especially when they're going to be spending months (humph, years), in outer space together. Also, there were some logs that were marked as audio in the book, though the majority I'm assuming he typed up. But I can imagine the movie producers wanting all the logs to be audio because it's easier to get across to the audience.
Easily one of my favourite books of the year, blew me away
I am so glad you enjoyed it! I read it about a month ago and absolutely loved it. It definitely is going to make it on to my 2015 favorite reads list!
I wish it had a second book after or a short story or something
I WANT TO KNOW HIS STORY WHEN HE GETS BACK TO EARTH
I want to know if they get home safe and if he meets a girl and if it feels weird going food shopping when he is used to not having that
I picked this book for a long trip to Virginia with my boyfriend and we. were. obsessed. I was never compelled to read it, but I'm SO GLAD I DID. I'm not a science gal or a space gal, but this is just amazing, funny, wonderful storytelling! As always, excellent book talk! (And come on, the first couple lines of the book? BRILLIANT!)
I *LIVEE* for your non-spoiler-y section, Christine. THANK YOU! I'm picking up The Martian when I get the chance!
This BookTalk is gold. I read The Martian in two days thanks to your review and I absolutely loved it. I laughed out loud so much and each time he went through ANOTHER THING I was like - seriously, can't you give a guy a break? I ended up giving it 4/5 stars and just want to thank you so much for being the extra push making me read this
Such a damn good book - I wish I could read it again for the first time and experience the book again because I loved it sooooo much. I hope the movie scratches that itch!
OH MY GOSH I NEED THIS BOOK
I just finished reading this book because of your video and I absolutely loved it! Thanks for another amazing recommendation Christine
I read the book when it came out and nearly noone in booktube were talking about it!! I am SUPEEEER EXCITING THAT YOU HAVE A BOOKTAAAALK!! By the way, the ending... I was crying and fangirling at 2.20 am!!! OH MY GOSHHHH
I AM SO HAPPY YOU LOVED IT! I LOVED IT SOOO MUCH! Mark is amazing!!!!! I'm gonna buy the physical book bc I only have the ebook. I just want to physically own this beautiful incredible book!
I am so glad you loved it. I have been waiting for this hahah.
This is my favorite book, I read it twice in a row :D and Matt Damon is my favorite actor sooooo
I was traveling when I read this book and I would wake up late everyday because I could not put the book down the previous night. It really is exceptional. So I get why you're really excited about it, I hoped that someone was reading it with me so I could discuss it with them and freak out about the book together. Thank you for making these reviews.
I screamed when mark told beck in his email that BECK SHOULD TELL JOHANSSEN HOW HE (beck) FEELS ABOUT HER I JUST FLIPPED OUT BC SEBASTIAN STAN AND KATE MARA WOULD LOOK SO FUCKING ADORABLE AND WHEN SHE KISSED HIS FACEPLATE BEFORE SAVING MARK I JUST. AND WHEN LEWIS TOLD BECK TO SLEEP IN JOHANSSEN'S BED AND IT WAS JUST SO CUTE. I REALLY HOPE THEY ADD THAT CUTESY STUFF IN THE MOVIE JEUEJSJSHDFVYFHV
This was a great video! 😂 I was laughing a smiling and reliving this amazing book. LOVE YOU XTINE
I don't know I mean sometimes when I say a book is funny all I mean is I'll let out the occasional nose exhale
Bibliosaurusrex Trust me. This book is hillarious on all levels for all ages. Its a role that is fit for Matt Damon all the way!!!
+Bibliosaurusrex Me too, but THIS BOOK made me cry CRY from laughter!! So good!
THIS IS ONE OF MY NEW FAVORITE BOOKS. I am so pumped for the movie.
Honey, I love you, your booktalks are THE BEST
The trailer spoiled everything
+MIKETHONY i mean i saw the trailer before i read the book and still loved it profusely =P
+MIKETHONY I watched a small part of it, when I saw what it was about I immediately turned it off. Cause I knew I would love the book.
I just watched the teaser trailer. WHOA. MIND BLOWN. SO GOOD. I HAVE TO HAVE TO HAVE TO READ THIS BEFORE THE FILM.
This video is so flipping timely, I finished reading the book just last night! Watney is the King of Mars!
Great video! I really loved it! ♡
YES I LOVED THIS BOOK. And I especially agree with out about when the book switched to first person - SO MUCH ANXIETY.
I watched this and I am going into town tomorrow to get it! 😂 love you and your videos so much you always make me smile and brighten my day up! ❤️
Your reviews always have me chuckling due to your excitement! i think you would have made a great Watney double in the film if they ever needed one... your review and this book are on point!
omg your so good at hyping me up I need this now!!!!
The reason why I love your book talks Christine, is because your non-spoilery sections are more than one minute and long!
I literally finished the audiobook and it's 1:30 in the morning.Its official you're my online fan-girl companion~
I just finished this book, and of course immediately had to watch your booktalk! Loved it. loved it loved it loved it! ^____^
when I was halfway through, I was like "we have to make it 4 years and we're only on day 133?!" I was ready to put it down but I'm glad I pushed through. (I was shipping Beck and Johansen)
Really! I'm just going to bed, damn it, Christine.
Same!
I've been meaning to read this book but I haven't had the time! I haven't even watched any trailers yet!! Definitely going to read it soon!
P.S. Welcome back from London!!!!
I'm glad that there is a movie to this excellent novel. So far the trailer looks really good and i've heard great review on both the book and movie. The author's story of how it got published is truly inspiring for an indie writer as myself. I hope my YA suspense/thriller stories would be adapted as well on the big screen. The movie-version of The Martian woud definitely get nominated on award season. Mark my word!
I had so much fun with this book! (Read it earlier in the year to prepare for the movie). It was refreshing. Also, even though I was always terrible in science, I liked how the 'science' was explained in such a way that even I could follow it, but not in a way that I was being talked down to.
Okay, it's time we had a chat. I have read a few books you have reviewed and recommended and I've pretty much agreed with you on all of them. but this one takes. the. effing. planet. (see what I did there?)
I got it 4 days ago and have not been able to put it down. I first snagged it with my monthly audible credit but after barely 3 chapters, I stopped at a Barnes and Noble to snag the very lovely hardcover (the pretty one which turned out to be 20 bucks but I totally would have paid anything by that point). I am officially obsessed with all things Mark Watney. I'm on there last 35 pages and I caved and watched the big trailer. I'm so glad I waited because it really would have spoiled everything. I love this book and I adore you for recommending it. You are my favorite BookTuber and it's because of you I've thought about starting my own channel! thankyou thankyou thankyou! ♡alz
We listened to this on part of our road trip this summer and we loved it!
YES! You finally read The Martian! It's my favorite book. I LOVE it! And I can't wait for the movie either, Matt Damon is the perfect Mark Watney. But the book is just . . . the bomb! It is SO funny, and sarcastic, and interesting, and stuffed with action where you're like, this is gonna go so bad. I mean, who thinks that it's a good idea to bring rocket fuel into an oversize tent and set fire to it?! It's doomed to go wrong in one way or another! I love all his crazy solutions and experiments, and how his solution to one problem leads to the next because of some tiny little thing he forgot or stuff that was simply out of his hands, like the airlock exploding off from the Hab and when his drill electrocuted Pathfinder. It's really tragic, but you can't help but laugh at the absurdity. I loved the part where NASA has just found out he's alive and wonders what kind of genius thinking he's doing, and the next log entry reads: 'How come Aquaman can control whales? They're mammals! Makes no sense.' LOL. Also when he has to figure out the size and direction of the dust storm, and he compares the frustration of the situation with driving in the wrong direction on the freeway, but for an entire day . . . at a snail's pace. I just did that this week, and my sympathy for Mark just doubled all the while I was going in the wrong direction. You simply can not help but love the guy and his fight to survive. Another one that had me laughing; 'I experimented with Potato Skin Tea a few weeks ago. The less said about that the better.' =D - And I 100% agree with you on the movie advertisement on the cover. I hate it with a passion! I bought the American version in paperback and it also has the advertisement now. I was so pissed. I tried writing several bookstores with no luck. So I decided to try my luck and ordered the American hardback version, and lo and behold, it came advertisement free. I was so happy that I, for real, jumped up and down with glee. WHY do they used the book covers for movie advertisement? It should be banned by law! If I wanted to watch the movie version of a book, I wouldn't be standing in a bookstore now, would I? But hey, now I have two versions of the book; one just for me, and one I lend to the people I tell to read the book, and lets face it, EVERYONE should read this book! - Andy Weir is awesome!
This probably took you a long time to edit this video. Thanks for the entertainment. I just got done reading this book. I'll be discussing it with my book club and then we'll be watching the movie together. I am super excited!
I saw this review this morning, went into town in the afternoon and bought the book. So excited to read it (:
Can you make a booktalk about The End Of Days by Susan Ee?
I finally read the book, and I love how descriptive and funny it was!
This book is definitely my favorite of 2016 so far
CHRISTINE IT'S BECAUSE OF YOU THAT I WENT OUT TO MY FAVORITE BOOKSTORE AND PICKED UP THIS BOOK. NO LIE.
Christine, I think your first 15 seconds of excitement alone made me want to read the book hahaha
Ahh I freaking loved this book! Weir did a super great job of making the science interesting and thorough without bogging down the story. There's an interesting talk he gave at Google posted on CZcams if anyone wants to check it out... He talks about some of the science in the book and the flight paths of the spacecraft. I'm super hyped for the movie :)
The Martian is one of my all time favourite books!! It is SO SMART AND FUNNY! You would think a survival story as realistic and serious as this would throw laughs out the window, but this isn't any ordinary survival story on Mars - Its MARK WATNEY's survival story. This King of Mars is truly one of my favourite characters!!
OH MY GOD. The thing on the cover of the American version is an astronaut???? I've literally spent months thinking it was a lizard. I've seen that cover a MILLION TIMES. What. Even. Anyways, if I didn't already need to read this book before, I really do now!!! I can't wait to pick it up! (But seriously. The cover. How.)
Books And Things Oh my god, that's so funny! LOL!
NextDoorFangirl I just don't understand it xD
Books And Things Haha!
Rebecca Hope I can't believe I did that, it's so obvious now that I look at it xD
This might be the first contemporary book review of Christine's where I've already read the book (hard sci-fi doesn't seem to be her thing). If you haven't read it, she's right, it's excellent.
I got so excited when I saw this! I love The Martian!
I loved this book so much I just finished it yesterday. Didn't know it was a book until after I saw the movie but hey that just meant I had Matt's voice telling me what's going on in the story it was awsome
Christine!! Read the Unwind Series! 😄
DANGIT Christine, now I have to add this to the top of my reading list lol. I was interested in reading this but you've got me SOLD. I love survival stories, plus I was already planning on seeing the movie so now I have to read this before I do. You make me wanna read it RIGHT NOW. Okay I'll chill now xD
I just finished listening to the audiobook this morning and I loved this book. It really is funny. I saw a Q&A with Andy Weir and Mark Is definelty modeled after him :) I can't wait to see the movie.
Loved this book. One of my favorites this year. I agree, it was definitely a funny book. Mark was hilarious.
Twas glorias ! Thank you for the fantastic recommendation!!
I really loved this book as well. Just finished it and it was so brilliant. I was really enthusiastic about the film as well
OMG I HAVE TO READ IT. NOW.
I've been thinking about buying this ever since I saw the movie trailer as well! Now I really need to read it! :D
I watched the movie and now I can't wait to read the book
A must read. Warning! It is impossible to put this book down. Make sure you set aside some time to finish in one sitting and not make my mistake. I read throughout the night and was late to work. I also consumed it in audio format in one sitting as well. Figure 5 hours to read the book or 11 hours for the audiobook.
This book was soooo funny . Mark Watney is a guy that I'd love to hang out with for a day just to hear his smart ass comments. Awesome book
Can't wait to read, sounds great
The humor was the biggest surprise for me in the book, and definitely my favorite thing about it. I thought it was going to be all doom and gloom, but NOPE. It WAS thrillery and intense like I thought it'd be, but it was also mostly Watney making poop jokes. The only negative thing I could think of to say about the book was that a Watney evaded one or two situations (like the storm thing) a tiny bit too easily.
I absolutely adored this book BUT it took me literally forever to read! I found it hard to keep up with all the scientific/technical bits which was maybe a little less than half of the whole book? But the characters were fantastic and Mark was an amazing person to be stuck on Mars with and when action and suspense kicked in, they punch you in the face. Fantastic book, it was just that one complaint :)
that red background though. ;) I NEED TO READ THIS
if you go to Barnes and noble they have the American red cover in hardcover it's beautiful
The omniscient POV stressed me tf out!! Like "no this is not happening no nope GODDAMMIT!!" :D
Omg u actually answered I'm gonna cry
You didn't mention Troy was in it! I'm sold on the movie and I have to read this book it sounds really good
omg Christine in your thumbnail you look just like Honey Lemon from Big Hero 6!!
Haha!! Your spoiler part was hilarious. Well done.
I was not ready for that intro
Fine fine, i ll go read it. BUT, when i am done. I ll be back.
This book was so awesome!
I reaaaaalllyyy love Interstellar so now I want to read that book!
I loved every second of this book. I've never laughed out loud so many times reading a book. My family all thinks I'm crazy now XD
book you seriously must read it is so freaking beautiful = the Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender by Leslye Walton
