A review by breannalynn
The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu
5.0
5/5 holy shit.
I’ll admit, at times this was a very tough read for me because I got lost in some of the more technical explanations. I put off finishing the book for a month, but that was SUCH a mistake. Fight through the hard moments, and you will be greatly rewarded by the end.
This is such a clever and mind boggling read; I have no idea how Cixin Liu crafted this from his own mind. Speculative science fiction can be very fun to read but also very daunting, and somehow Liu pushes the boundaries of what we COULD know to places beyond my own comprehension. The last 100 pages of this book were so gripping, it seemed like every page I read contained a new concept I had never thought of or even heard of before. This is genuinely the first science fiction book I’ve read that has made me consider possibilities I had NEVER seen anyone else explore. Absolutely amazing.
