Negative Positive
Title: More of the same
Review: Green Mars is slightly improved over Red Mars. Robinson finally starts to describe characters better thorough their thoughts and actions. Characters are still wandering around a lot describing the landscape, but it's not nearly as tedious. I found the discussions on terraforming interesting as a scientist, but I think a lot of readers will find it boring. Nothing really happens till the very last chapter and even then, it isn't all that exciting. Robinson's books are really technology driven, characters and a plot take second place. I'm starting the third book now, but I don't think I would have bothered unless I had already bought it.
Is the review positive or negative?
