li3an1na4 's review for:

Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson
5.0

Red Mars gives you a view of the scientific, engineering, psychological, and political struggles that will occur with the eventual colonization of Mars. Told from the POV of several characters from the original one hundred over the course of several decades. 4.5 stars for sure.

There are some unnecessary love triangles and some hand waving of science&engineering, but all in all, an engrossing book that is sadly pretty realistic of what may occur.
