jonathanelias 's review for:
Red Mars
by Kim Stanley Robinson
Unique book: Life, culture, the vibe of living on Mars is a thrill to read. I adored the beginning: initial settlement with 100 people, slowly building structures, exploring; just the kinda stuff I love to read.
Characters: mixed bag. Some I just couldn't get a grip on, others I kinda liked but then they are "gone" again as the point of view switches to the next one.
The long description of Martian landscapes are definitely over the top; the book felt never ending, slogging.
The storyline is really dragged out, and as you don't reaally connect to the characters, not very emotionally gripping.
