The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu
1.0

My fiancé chose this book for us to read together after hearing good things about it. If it weren’t for that I would not have finished this book. I’m convinced you need to have some sort of science degree or be a scientist to understand 98% of this book. There are too many different perspectives and story lines that don’t seem to have a resolution which just made it very confusing to read. Just the general science talk made it extremely hard for me to understand, personally.

TLDR: read this book if you’re a scientist. if you’re not, you probably won’t understand 98% of the book.
