I went back and checked out some of the reviews. I suspect most of the reviewers don't really understand why the Martian was so popular. Story is the key. Does the story draw the reader in? Is it a book that someone would stay up late reading? Most popular writers tend to have a very specific voice that people like. Two books having the same voice isn't a bug, it's a feature. (I'm using voice to signify the basic feel of a book and set of characters)
