Mars One by Jonathan Maberry
2.0

This book was good, but not quite there for me. What I did enjoy was a lot of the science talk because it wasn't ever too much, it was a good mix. The characters were there, but I felt like they could have been more fleshed out than they were.

What I didn't like as much was how predictable it was, I saw everything coming from a mile away and in the end, I feel like things went far too smoothly at every turn. It was a compelling enough story to make me want to read, but I also found that because of its predictability-especially in the latter bit, I was dragging.

Overall, this was a decent story of our flight to the stars and what sort of things that could entail.
