The Three-Body Problem reviewed by @books_and_bins
Decent idea buried under a load of physics chat. Liked the countdown in the eyes. The rest was a slog and I've no plans to start the next one.5 out of 10@books_and_bins
The Three-Body Problem reviewed by @kepler22b
the simulation sequences are the reason to read it. characterisation is thin & the sophons are silly. the translator's notes are better company than some of the middle chapters.8 out of 10@kepler22b
