So far in the book, the main character, Mark Watney, has been abandoned by his astronaut crew and is stranded on mars. After his whole crew thought he had died, they were forced to evacuate their mission on mars. Mark is now trying to survive for another 4 years until the next routine group of astronauts are expected to come. He has enough food to last him around a year, but that won't get him very far. He is also desperately trying to communicate to people back on Earth to send help. From this, I can guess that he will do anything and everything that he can to stay alive, and keep attempting to communicate with NASA back on Earth. I can also guess that he will keep rationing his food, and figuring out how he can make a years worth of food last 4 years. Hopefully he’ll be able to grow the leftover potatoes sustainably to last him. I can predict from what's happened so far that mark will (unfortunately) run into a lot more problems along the way. Food is one issue, but there is also oxygen, water, and communication issues, just to name a few. I am so far really enjoying this book, and I am sure that things will start to get moving even faster and it will be a very entertaining book overall.
