Blue Mars (Mars Trilogy, #3)

The long-awaited final book in the Mars Trilogy. Sadly, this follows the usual rule - the first two books are better than the last. Blue Mars just runs out of steam, becomes static and repetitive and a bit pointless. Interestingly enough, though, the society he describes has itself become static, repetitive, a bit pointless. So maybe the feel of the book isn't entirely accidental. I did enjoy reading this, and I think any fan of the first two will feel compelled to read the third.

One nice thing: I was reading this on my big roadtrip. Canyonlands looks a lot like the planet described in Blue Mars.
