A review by enantiodromia
Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson

Did not finish book. Stopped at 30%.

This novel really suffered from poor editing. I could not believe how many comma splices existed. This made reading extremely slow, as I sometimes had to re-read run-on sentences numerous times to gather the meaning. 

I also don't understand why after the decently interesting opening of what seemed like a sabotage and issues with a newer Middle Eastern colonization, we backtrack into the beginning, and nothing really seems to happen except soap opera drama and Nadia having superhuman engineering abilities and supposedly everybody else was a stupid mess-up.
