      I think it's fantastic, I prefer it over the Martian but they are both good. If you plan on reading it go in as blind as you can.
      This was a good recap. I obviously read the wool series but it's been awhile and this jogged my memory pretty good before I watch the show, i hope they stay faithful. There's always a mystery and he always gives you hope then takes it away, several times. I remember the whole section with solo, that's his name right, being really sad.

      As we've explained on our continuing podcast series: they changed it from the book's "Oh damn, that just happened!" to the show making it "Wait, what just happened?"
