Title: Award winner?
Product review: I found the book extremely slow. I skimmed whole chapters where characters seemed to wander aimlessly describing the landscape. This slowed down the pace of the book and made it unnecessarily long. Robinson is certainly no Muir, I had difficulty picturing the landscapes described. Some of the characters and their interactions are interesting, but just as you get into it, Robinson cuts to describing still more landscapes. Just as you begin to like some of the characters, they get killed off left and right. I'm reading the next book because I already bought it, but if I had read Red Mars first, I wouldn't have bothered.
