Is it weird if I write about Red Mars? I'm writing about Red Mars...

So I started to read Red Mars, and was pleasantly surprised. I found it very easy to read and it flowed very quickly, but the story was enough to keep me reading. I haven't read that much to be honest, only through most of The Voyage Out (which is the second chapter), but I wanna talk about spoilers so sorry spoilers ahead.~~~
So far, someone's died and that's not at all what I was expecting. The timeline was weird for me, starting with John's murder and then how everyone ended up on Mars in the first place. My first impression of the characters was "these aren't exactly good people" which I found strange. In books, there's always the big moralist protagonist, and Red Mars seems to be lacking that. From the first chapter, I thought maybe Frank was the main guy, but he definitely is not the best guy. Throug The Voyage Out that he actually kind of plans John's murder and that's implied in the first chapter but you don't really see how much he hates John until the second chapter.  Maya seems to be a really complex character so I'm curios to find out more about her. In the first chapter John and Maya were together and so obviously was very sad about his murder ( how will she react that to discovering that Frank played a part?) but in the second chapter she was kind of in love with Frank. Or at least might have been. What I also like about the book is that it's not very American centered the other astronauts are from different countries and they talk about them a lot and and how they almost make fun of the Americans and was it  just really nice like perspective to see. What really upset me about the characters is that it's kind of weird to put yourself in their shoes. No one seems to really trust each other even though they've been living together for I forget how long almost like several months now and it's just hard to imagine that. They don't have friendships and just tolerate each other and that's very strange to picture that you kind of have to live with someone for that matter time and you don't really build friendships.  I really want to find out more about about how Frank and John and how their relationship came to be. They're frenemies  because Frank is like the captain and I think Frank might just be jealous of John because John is like they say he's like the super charismatic type and stuff and everyone loves him and they kind of listen to Frank out of just obligation because he's their leader. What I don't think I like about this book is that a lot of things are implied and I'm not very good at receiving subtle hints. So I'm reading and think was that supposed to mean something I did not catch that what just happened. For example when Maya and Frank have sex for the last time she says she looked into his eyes and it was like looking into an empty house and she knew it was over and I was like what what what.  You don't really know how much time passes between where they are now as in leaving to go to Mars and from where the book starts. They've already built cities and stuff and they said that the Arabs already got there before them and I wonder how long ago that was before the rest of the world showed up. John's played off as the antagonist  and you kind of sympathize with Frank  at the very beginning at least and then you kind of see from a different perspective. From Maya's point of view, you see kind of Frank as  this cold guy thats almost calculating in her eyes and John is is like super charismatic that's probably why he so influential  and probably why Frank wants to kill him or plotted against him ( I actually don't know if he did this but I feel like he did or that it's heavily implied so I'm just going to go with that). What I want to see is kind of the development between Maya and John how they came to be about because I'm assuming a lot of time passes between the two chapters so I'm really interested in seeing how those two happened. In the beginning when Frank talks to Maja you don't get anything that they might've had something together but like second chapter comes along and you find out they totally did. But I'm really enjoying  it so far.
