The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu

3.0

I mostly struggled with the structure of the book. I enjoyed the primary plot and it kept me engaged. But the book frequently makes a hard stop and turns away from the main plot, deep diving into something else for an unanticipated amount of time. I'd find myself desperate to speed through these sections to get back to the main plot. I'd say about half the book consists of these supporting sections, so it made for a challenging read. I understand these sections were necessary to fully comprehend the entirety of the plot, but their execution didn't work for me.

Special shoutout to Da Shi, who stood out as a phenomenal character and frequently brought laughter to very dense or heavy conversations.
