You need to read you some Dan Brown, my friend. The prose in The Martian was merely gimmicky and repetitive.

    “Physicist Leonardo Vetra smelled burning flesh, and he knew it was his own. he stared up in terror at the dark figure looming over him. ‘What do you want!’ ‘La chiave,’ the raspy voice replied. ‘The password.’ ‘But… I don’t - ‘ The intruder pressed down again, grinding the white hot object deeper into Vetra’s chest. There was the hiss of broiling flesh.”

- Dan Brown, Angels and Demons, first 2 paragraphs
