beagley 's review for:

The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu
3.0

An idea book, with some intense and poignant images and moments thrown in. It evokes classic science fiction, with all of it's flaws (characterization, believability, plot holes, etc.) and benefits (profound willingness to break paradigms, fun idea gymnastics!).

By many measures, this is not a very good book. By other measures, it is profound and wonderful.

Recommended with caveats.
