And Friday January 10 2020 for the last two books
One of the best science fiction books I’ve read. I was hesitant at first, because I wasn’t sure the English translation would do justice to the original text, which I wouldn’t be able to read anyway, but having read the translators notes, I’m satisfied that what I read accurately conveys the essence of the original. As for the story, I strongly recommend that whoever reads this book tries to avoid knowing anything about it prior to reading it. The layers of the story unfold in such a way that each chapter drew me deeper in while keeping me on the edge of my seat. If any physicists read this book on my recommendation, I’d love to know your thoughts.
So many people LOVE this book. I don't. It was ok. I prefer reading either a book with language that reads like Mozart sounds, a plot that conveys interesting concepts in a cohesive manner, or a fun quickie. Maybe it was the translation, maybe it's a cultural writing style, but this did not feel like good writing to me. It had some intriguing concepts, but not conveyed in a satisfactory style. A lot of people really love it. I like reading their reviews as much as the book. There seem to be two camps - ones who enjoyed the first 2/3 of the book the most, and those who enjoyed the last 1/3 (the Trisolarians); I am in the second group. But still, at the end of the day, I'm left looking at the effusive reviews and wondering if the people who think this is magnificent would praise the emperor's clothes highly also.
4, only because I don't think my level of intelligence is enough to fully understand what I just read. But goodness, this is some imaginative sci-fi!
