I would like to describe a book that I read recently. When I was a child, I vividly remember being interested in astronauts, and I have to say that space was the most important thing for me. I decided to read this book related to astronauts and space, especially Earth, Mars, and so on. I read a book recently called Mars Yen by Andriy Ver. The summary of this book is about Mark Watney, the first person who arrived on Mars. After that, because he finished everything he brought, he thought he wanted to die. I would like to read more about the book by Andriy Ver. He wrote every passage well, and I like it.
