Review: 

I really liked this book, I thought that the book was educational as long as fun to read. I would highly recommend this book, but I really liked this book because of two main things…

I really liked the mathematical aspect of the book because, almost every  idea that he had to solve problems that occurred on Mars, were actually reasonable ideas, like figuring out how much water he will need to stay alive. He figured out  how much water a person drinks each day, then figured out how long until the next mission arrives to save him, and then finally how much water he will need to stay alive for that period of time.

I also liked really liked the experiments that he did like building a fire in a oxygen rich room to combined hydrogen and oxygen to create more water for himself.
