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!
