Negative Positive
Title: Irony, joke novel, or simply bad?
Review: The novel starts of with promise but then the griding of the authors personal axes starts to whine in your ear. And it gets louder and louder as the pages turn. The NASA sections are just plain unbelievable. Why must every Sci-Fci author paint them with the incompentant pen pusher brush? The scenese of modern society are not beliveable. The characters are less complicated and real than the plastic toys you find in McDonalds fun meals. Once on mars it just gets more and more stupid until you wonder at your own personal skills in picking this book up and not noticing the smell it gives out. A stinker. I thought it may be trying to be funny ala "the stainless steel rat" but I suspect the author just can't write.
