In the end, I enjoyed Green Mars. It took a long time to get going, with a lot of detail that it could have frankly done without, but the revolution that happens in the back 8th of the book, was fascinating and felt very timely.
I enjoyed this, but not as much as other Philip K Dick books I've read. The ending felt a bit anti-climatic - though apparently Dick intended to write a sequel, but couldn't face reading more about the Nazis.
I enjoyed this even more than I remembered enjoying it. I got a lot more out of it than the first time through, and I still find the wheeled people just so fantastic.
This book ended up being even better than I remember it! I could hardly put it down. There's a lot more subtly than I can remember (unsurprisingly). I am very glad I chose to re-read this before diving into the Book of Dust. I will definitely be reading the Amber Spyglass next. It also served as welcome escape from Covid, that is currently infecting everything (as well as everyone) in our lifes.
