It's been twenty years since I read them, but as I recall I found the Mars Trilogy to be dry and pretty poorly/stereotypically characterized. I thought it like a lot of hard science fiction was too nuts and bolts for my taste, too much about ideas and tech and not enough about the people and what was going on.
It's similar to some epic fantasy, where you might have pages and pages of description of shit I don't care about, like food and clothing, sometimes even long descriptions of scenery makes me start to skim read until something happens. Same way with hard science fiction, i find myself starting to tune out during the technical and scientific jargon and discussions.
