A review by silas_ever
Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson

2.0

I really tried to get into this book. I'm only a mild science fiction fan, and this book was a little heavy on the science geekiness for me. In addition, the character development was virtually non existent...with many more pages being spent on extremely repetitive descriptions of a very boring landscape and made up scientific explanations and ideas about colonizing Mars. I got 300 pages into this book, and not much had really happened plot-wise. I had an idea that I knew what was going to happen in the idea, so I skimmed the last couple chapters.....and I was right. It was rather predictable, and wasn't an interesting reading adventure to get to the end. My husband said everytime I picked up the book I looked like I was having to perform a tedious and inpleasant chore. Which is too bad, I did want to enjoy this book.
