Return to Mars Audiobook

" I read the Mars book 10 years ago and just got around to reading this one (November 2009). My tastes may have changed but I remember enjoying the first book a lot. This one though was ok but didn't have the same 'impact' as the first book. "

" reasonable book with lots of driving on Mars trying to find alien place. Little bit slow at times till finally get to discovery. Dissapointing overall as Bovas imagination on this book not great and left me feeling a bit let down. 2 stars only "

" Bova is no stylist, but the story is good, moving forward swiftly with 2.5 dimensional characters. "

" This novel was well researched and well written, but it was missing something. It was rather anti climactic and set itself up a little too well for a sequel. The characters are well developed and the story flows very smoothly. You could skip this one and you would not really miss that much. "

" More science than the first and a great story to boot. "

" Characters from Mars return in this sequel. There is a third I havven't read yet. "

" They go back...It isn't all good...Well, it isn't really good at all. "

" series losing what little steam it had "

" Kind of forgettable but mildly interesting at times. "

" A really good follow-up, with really plausible science. "

" I have always liked good stories about Mars and this is one. "

" I liked this one better than the first. It helped that their was a saboteur loose. Still too many lectures that slowed the pace, but on the whole much more satisfying than the first one. "

" i feel like they could have found out more about the martians but still a good read "

" The private sector is where the money is, but is it worth the cost. "

" This is a great book to it's predecessor, Mars. It really gets a thrill ride going. "

" The Mars books were the only two Ben Bova books I've read that were worth my time, and boy, were they good. This book is an excellent sequel to Mars, and comes highly recommended if you enjoyed reading Mars. "

" Jamie Waterman returns to Mars as the leader of the second Mars expedition but there is but there is trouble with the crew and the fund raiser on Earth. "

" Enjoyed it, but felt it dropped off somewhat from the first. I wasn't as captivated by the story. "

" Bova is one of the masters of hard science fiction. This is a worthy successor to Mars. Four stars rather than five because the characters are not exactly on the level of an Orson Scott Card. Still, an excellent read. "

" A really good read. It's been a long time I've gotten so worked up over the characters in a book. I wanted to kill a few characters and the end had a really surprisingly plot twist that I enjoyed "

" Tired space opera. I like Ben Bova's work, but this was too predictable, too flat. It contained a few adventurous moments on the Red Planet, but none really took off. "

" A worthy sequel to Mars. Not quite as good, but well worth the time. Has very good characters. The story is not quite as strong as Mars was. But very worthwhile read. "
