The Martian tells the story of an astronaut trying to survive alone on Mars, so why isn’t it called The Earthling? Huge let down! We thought there would be aliens! If you write a non-alien book, make that clear from the top and stop wasting our time. Plus, Kellen talks about how the author uses jokes to smuggle in information (instead of including aliens) and Dave is the one writing this description and he is LIVID that this was marketed as “The Martian”! Can you imagine reading a book called “The Italian," but it’s just some dude from Florida on a trip to Italy?! There would be a class action suit.
