The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury

Characters: Way, WAY, too many to talk about here.

Plot: This novel is actually a collection of short story's edited to look like they have a thin plot.
Man goes to Mars. He is struck down. It repeats itself 3 times before the Martians almost go extinct. They colonize, they adapt, they transform. Some people rebel, try to stop them from ruining the wonderful planet by making it in Earth's image. But when war breaks out on Earth, they leave. The world is thrown into chaos, space travel is illegal, stranding the few people left on Mars. Some survive, some don't.

Good: Excellent writing

Bad: A bit confusing.

4/5
