Anyone else feel like the book moved at kind of a breakneck pace compared to The Martian?

Like, The Martian went through this whole thing about using ASCII instead of the alphabet with the speak and spell...to communicate with people Watney knew personally. Meanwhile Grace and Rocky just...learn each other's languages. "I wrote a program in about 6 hours."
