This book had more of a Heinlein feel to it than a Martian hard science feel. It pushed the boundaries of probability and fig leafed the unbelievable things happening with pseudoscience and hand waving. I loved it because I love Heinlein books but I could have done without the lame attempts at explaining why things were possible and spent more time moving the story along. 9/10
PS: I think Andy Weir would do well to hire a physicist and engineer to do some math with him and bounce ideas. There were a couple things in this book that didn't make sense if you know a little about rockets.
