I think i would rate this book 7/10. i have always been interested in space and space exploration so thats probably why i thought this book was interesting. Journey to Mars is all about well people travelling to mars. its about the mars rovers and about future space exploration for people going to mars. Overall I thought this was a pretty good book.

I think this book was pretty interesting. i liked how the author started out by saying that "you" (the reader) is about to go in space and explains what would actually happen. there was lots of interesting facts about the planet mars like the tempature, how many days it takes for mars to orbit around the sun and many more facts. if you are interessted in learning about mars, i recomend this book. overall i would rate this book 7/10

I found this book rather interesting. This book (evident by the title) is about Mars and all the people who saw it and planned to go to it. They were talking about how long it would take, what the real geographic maps are like and how many people made up stories about Martians coming down from mars like the scary movie 'Mars Attack'. It was interesting but not thaat it outshined any other book I have read so far. I rate this book 7/10.

I would give it a 8/10 because i realy liked how they talked about how we might get to mars and use artificial gravity the myths and history of mars. But i didn't like how much they talked about the famous scientists like robert zubert. All in all i liked this book

This book was okay. I liked how it gave lots of interesting facts about Mars, such as scientists who thought there was intelligent life on Mars, cameras sent there to take photos and plans to land on Mars.I also liked the interesting layour of the book and the photographs. However, the part I didn't like was how the author wrote the information. I felt that although interesting, the information was not presented in an engaging way and seemed to be just straigh facts. All in all, I would give this book a 5/10.

I thought this book was very interesting, especially as it was about a topic that greatly interests me. I thought all the facts about Mars were cool. I really liked how at the beginning and the end it described how the astronauts who are the first to land on Mars feel. I thought it was really interesting how the astronauts would have to live. I have no idea if there could really be life on Mars or not but I think it would be interesting to learn more about why people think there could or couldn't be. Overall, this book was well-written, but I think it could have been made longer and included more information.
I'd rate it 8/10

6/10 this book was okay. it had some interesting facts about mars even though some i already knew. i found this book hard to stick with cuz were always hearing bout "the red planet" frequently so i kinda dound this book boring. im sure it would have been more interesting if if i knew nothing on the topic and didnt hear about this planet that could contain life all the tim :)

I will give this book a 6 out of 10. I like the book's format, but the format is the exact same format of all of these kind of book. It had some good information on matrs, but it seemed to not have anything new or interesting. It is a bit too much raw fact, no real opinions or thoughts by the author. It is okay, but it could have been much more.

This book was about, how Mars was discovered and its history. It also talked about Mars rovers disappearing. Finally it talked about people traveling to Mars and the risks that come with it.
This book was ok. In this book I learned that Mars doesn't orbit in a circular pattern and this red planet has ice on it.
I Rate this book 6/10

I would rate this book a 5/10. I'm not really interested in learning about Mars. I did a project once on Mars and I wasn't thrilled with the turn-out. i think this book would be more interesting to other people but not somuch for me. This book was about basically Mars. It was cooler when the author was talking about the Mars Rover. I thought it was amazing that scientists could still do research about Mars when the planet is so far away.
