Yet another one to add to my TBR list. Thanks, Sci-Fi Shed. The interesting thing (to me, at least) is how every ranking has an effect on every other work (in that category). It's tough, man. It would drive me nuts. I enjoy watching you do it, though.
Good review Pete, I agree a lot of the book had an academic feel, but I loved it. Overall the trilogy is amazing and I still think about it to this day.
@@sfwordsofwonder Thank you my friend 😊 I've been thinking about it for close to ten years now, it's definitely one that keeps you looking up to that red star in the sky and wonder "maybe one day" thanks buddy.
Enjoyed the video. There are some books that I loved when I was reading them but as weeks or months pass, they slowly fall down my rankings as the initial excitement wears off and I have more time thinking about them. Red Mars is one of the few that went the other way. I loved it when I read it and immediately knew it would make my top 10 list but towards the bottom. But every time I think about my favorite books I just realize more and more what a staggering achievement that book was and it moves up a peg or two. Having somewhat recently reread my other favorites of the genre, I'm pretty confident its my favorite SF book of all time.
Thank you for the great review! I keep seeing this book, it interest me, but I wasn’t sure. I read his book New York 2140 and it was interesting but nothing to write home about. Now I’m definitely going to pick it up.
@@joshuatempleton9556 nice, that's awesome. I read the whole series almost 20 years ago. It was great rereading Red, I'm looking forward to rereading the others.
@@thesci-fished i read it the first time 20 something years ago and again 3-4 years ago, the science has greatly changed since they were written but still a good read
Red Mars
Moving Mars
Mars Plus
So many mars memories when i was younger. Good stuff. ✅
Indeed, so many great novels that had/have us marvelling at the stars and the wonderful planets that are orbiting them.

Thank you kindly, it doesn't get any easier :) but I try.
If my count is right this is the 45th novel on the ladder. What an accomplishment! Five more and you could make a top 50 video!
Thank you kindly Richard, that's a great idea. I'll definitely do that. 👍
Yes yes yes, thank you, this will be a pleasure. I just finally managed to get a friend to start reading it and am on a huge reread experience.
@@Eckendenker nice one, it's a classic that's for sure.

@@sirnitsalot it's a wonderful novel, it's got to be one of my favourites as well when it comes to that sub genre.

You're most welcome. I look forward to hearing your opinion when you have finished it.
Yes. I really loved this series. I'm a huge fan.
@@srgay it's fantastic isn't it Stephen.
Great video, I always wondered if this book would be boring but it sounds like it has a fair bit to offer.
@@SciFiFinds I really enjoyed it, but horses for courses as the saying goes. I'd be interested in your take when you get around to it.
i own all three of the series in original hard cover, i have read them twice.
