I'll add a counterpoint. Andy Weir came up with an amazing plot and is a great researcher, adding in incredibly detailed and satisifying science and engineering, but is a bad writer. The book is terribly written. Clunky and clichéd. And Mark in the book is an annoying jerk. I love the movie. I would say skip the book.
