The Three-Body Problem was by far my favorite of the trilogy. The pacing was perfect. The philosophy and physics were thought-provoking while remaining accessible. There was quite a lot of intrigue, too, which lent the book the quality of a complex puzzle.

Additionally, the next two books in this series were overtly misogynist & this one was not. I think this book would be a great standalone novel.
