This will be short and sweet. I read the first book in this series and gave it 3 stars. I was interested enough in what would happen next to try the sequel. I dnf'd after about 60 pages, in which the set-up was still happening. The humor is okay but the sort that gave me the occasional quirk of the lips instead of a chuckle, the main character still seems like he ought to be in high school instead of a grown man, and the setup of getting to Mars and the reasons to do so too a lot of exposition that wasn't especially interesting. After putting the book down I didn't feel like picking it up again. I don't care what happens to these people.
