A review by bassmanvoh
Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson

2.0

Well, I'm glad that's over. Though the final two parts (7,8) really made up for a lot of the things this book lacked, it was not enough to dig itself out of the hole I have it in. Long, bland, and flat characters ruin this story. The Sci-fi setting of Mars is always fun for me to dive into because each author has their own ideas about what the planet will be, with similar descriptions to guide the visuals. I thought that Mars would be enough to keep me positive and interested but I truly struggled to get through it.
