This was such a strange book in the best way. Very futuristic, I loved it!

I think toward the very end I had to read the pages a few times to really grasp who everyone was and how they fit in with the story. That’s the only down side - I don’t like being confused.. but I really liked it!!

DID NOT FINISH

This book was just so basic, I couldn’t get behind it.  Every chapter ended the same way, I felt like the author was treating me like I was stupid.

Like all of his books, this one is thought provoking about technology and human nature and our future. Such tragic characters. The audiobook is particularly well produced.

I need timelines and diagrams of the Mars-verse.
