Deborah's Reviews > Red Mars / Green Mars

I love the first two books (and the third) in this series. The books are well written and the characters show strong development throughout the years that the story takes place. I think this is the most realistic space travel series that I have read so far. It nearly makes me wish that we had a Mars program already in effect! The way the author so immaculately represents the different personalities of different humans and the difficulties, socially, mentally, and environmentally, that a group of 100 individuals would face while colonizing and terraforming a new world was simply amazing. I was so drawn in I couldn't put the books down until I had finished them all. This series has definitely made it to my list of all times favorites and rereads, right up beside Harry Potter, The Stormlight Archive, and Flowers for Algernon.
