I used to read 2 books a week as a nerd teen. This is by far the greatest fiction book I have ever read, and have read it numerous times. Its about a man trying in vain to survive on an alien planet. It's quite depressing tbh but *spoiler* you keep thinking it will get better. It doesn't. I was overjoyed recently because my daughter, also a teen read the book, probably after getting sick of me talking about it. She loved it also. I wish the guy had written more books.
