A review by nicobella
The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu, Ken Liu

3.0

This book is primarily plot-driven with a LOT of hard-science-ish jargon rants. Those combined with a slowly unraveling plot, I was very happy when it was over. I think I missed any larger themes I would otherwise find interesting because I was so distracted by the science dumps. The audiobook didn’t help. Although the narrator did good voice acting work, his narration itself was like listening to a war documentary, which did not work for me. It’s not a bad book obviously, it won a Hugo, it was just missing the sci-fi aspects I enjoy in sci-fi and the character development/relationships were weak to not there.
