Interesting read. I found the pacing of the book to be off. It was very slow for parts and then information dumped in others. The concept of the three body problem made me more appreciative of our earth. I feel like stronger character development could have helped me to enjoy the book more. I think that some of it stems from the language difference but I felt we didn’t get to know the characters at all even though they were grappling with big issues. It’s still up the in the air for me whether i will read the next book in the series. The lack of character development and odd pacing can be overlooked I think if you are a big science nerd and find that interesting, but to me it didn’t redeem the book.
