Paul,I was very disappointed in Red Mars.I too was hoping for some terraforming,and got very little.Instead it was standard boring conspiracies,political manouverings etc. It annoyed me that we learned right near the beginning that the only really likeable character was going to be killed off,and then we spent large chunks of the book following him,knowing the outcome for him.I found lots of it very hard to swallow. Sadly,since I am working my way through the Hugos and Nebulas,at some point I will have to read Blue Mars and Green Mars....sigh....not my cup of tea at all
