Red Mars

Mars is definitely “Hard Sci-fi” and maybe isn't for everyone. I LOVED the detailed and imaginative story of the planet, however I had a really hard time caring about the characters. They would pop into the narrative and become the focus of the story only to be unceremoniously removed once their part of the book was over.

I'll probably forget about the characters soon after finishing the book, however it sparked my imagination and I'll probably dream about Mars for a long time.

Giving it three stars because I consider that to still be a good rating, but I really can't recommend this book to everyone.
