effaly 's review for:
The Wandering Earth
by Cixin Liu
You can't build (big) enough spaceships to leave earth, before the sun becomes a Red Giant? Well, then let's just make a spaceship out of Earth! At first, this idea might sound silly, but I really came to love it. It's brilliant, really, especially all the potential problems and consequences this might have.
Unfortunately, the book barely scratched the surface of it all.
Overall it felt like I was reading a draft and not a novel, or even a novella. The ideas and the potential was there, but the execution was too short and unsatisfying. If this book had like 400 pages or even more, this could be easily one of my favorite sci-fi novels, but with barely anything being properly explained, and next to no development, I can't and won't give it more than 2 stars. It's a shame.
