I would not recommend this book to most people. After a while it was background noise, every once in a while something happened causing me to re-engage. Like others have pointed out there is so much detail. I was wondering if the author had hopes of turning the book into a movie, given the amount of detail. I suspect the author has a deep interest in structural engineering or geology. Sentence after sentence about the look and feel of Mars. To me most of the content was oriented towards the external and very little was oriented towards the internal. Meaning the emotion metric was very low. If you weren't paying attention you might miss two characters getting lost in a sand storm, making love and contemplating their chances to stay alive. The proportion of dialogue between characters to an individual character’s internal thoughts was unbalanced. There was some drama and no sense of humor.
Once in a while I heard something interesting causing me to consider the next book. Perhaps this book is best enjoyed in a physical form and not via audiobook. Maybe after I retire I will try again reading the text format.
