A matter of taste, I suppose. The Mars trilogy was the first thing I read by him, and I was completely sold by the time I realized the reason people suddenly seemed different was he'd switched narrators without explicitly saying so. I felt he perfectly managed to make a very technical story primarily human and personal without significant compromises. That said, if you didn't buy into it from the start, the trilogy would have been a pretty tough slog.
- Gmo 10y agoI read the whole trilogy when I was 16 I think. What a great set of books, and I secretly hope it will one day be made into movies or a serie (HBO please ? ;-) )
- Florin_Andrei 10y agoThe story is great, and I would probably watch those movies.
- rebuilder 10y agoApparently a series has been in the works under a number of networks for a while now, with SyFy and AMC failing to produce and currently Spike TV working on it. From the reporting it seems it's not exactly a sure thing yet, and given the nature of the books, I'll be surprised if anything other than a bastardized good-vs-evil story every comes out in moving picture format.
