Title: Why did it get an award??
Product review: That this novel got a Nebula Award doesn't say much for the quality of either the books in 1993 or the jury. This book was long and tedious. I kept anticipating that it would get more into the characters, who were very convoluted and confused, or into the technology and difficulties of colonizing Mars. I will not continue with the trilogy; it seems the next two are even longer and more tedious.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
