Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 839
In the ninth instalment of the series, C.S. Forester transports us to the quaint village of Smallbridge. Predictably restless and eager to embark on his next adventure, Horatio Hornblower dreams of returning to the seas and commanding his next ship. Now happily married to Lady Barbara Leighton and widely celebrated for his recent successes with the navy, Hornblower has been knighted and appointed a commodore. Fortunately for Horatio, his uneventful days as village squire are soon interrupted.

Thrilling but technical
Revisado: 07-15-17
Hornblower gets up to his usual adventures, saving the world yet again. The book is a pretty dense one, however, and draws on a bit, veering into military detail. Great performance by Rodska as always!

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he's alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. Chances are, though, he won't have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plainold "human error" are much more likely to kill him first.

Divided review for a divided story
Revisado: 12-29-16
What made the experience of listening to The Martian the most enjoyable?
Weir's performance as Watney is an absolute joy to listen to. He delivers the perfect mix of intelligence and snark.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
I was quietly glad it ended the way it did.
Which scene was your favorite?
The airlock detachment. Perfect blend of Watney's survival skills, self-aware humor and tenacity after a tense build-up.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I generally enjoyed the book and laughed a bit. Not too heavy of a read.
Any additional comments?
Watney's story (and Weir's delivery) are brilliant, but weakened by the Earth-side interludes. Their characters are one-dimensional stereotypes, business is conducted in naively simplistic ways, and the PR director's character is incongruously hostile.
