Reply to comment by mimiruyumi in The Martian by Andy Weir - which version is better? by [deleted]

Oh yeah! That's the sort of time I don't mind - when it's in context! (It's when it's just lots of random profanities, just for the sake of it and no apparent reason that a book just loses me, I don't really know why)

That's perfect though, sounds like it does actually have reason for being in that book

I totally agree. Sometimes I feel authors just add profanity because they feel like their book isn't "adult" enough without it. But it definitely doesn't feel that way in this book, at least to me.

You have described exactly what I was trying to say, yes! (Sometimes I'm not great with words ha)

But that's good, I'm really looking forward to it!
