It took me a few re-reads to really warm up to the core of what Blue Mars is, as opposed to Red and Green. It's still the weakest of the series, but it's the utopian payoff to all of the revolutionary ideals in the first two books.

Of course, I was a lot younger then and had the time to re-read incredibly dense, long tomes.

For me it was the problem, that I loved Green, and especially Red for the pioneer work, for the descriptions of the lonely landscape and the first attempts at terraforming and later aeroforming. This was magic for me.
Blue on the other side is much more about politics and social issues and such. Not bad in itself, but not something I like reading so much about.

Aww, I’ve loved all of them but I think this one really got me engaged most of all of them, exactly for the reasons you mention. Those are just things I absolutely love in scifi ^_^

Gabi - I totally agree that those parts are magical, and so evocative. I felt like I lived them, when I was reading them. There's a reason these are some of my favorite books of all time.
