The Three-Body Problem

One third of this book was one of the best things I read this year, one third was meandering and boring, one third was not very engaging until the very last bit.

Overall the great stuff in this book brings up the rest to a 3 star, but this would have been a 1 or 2 star of it was all the same quality.

My two biggest issues are that outside of a few key players all the characters sound like they are the same person. No mannerisms, no differences in their way of speaking. Also the science is too much, I don't need to know every micro detail of how unfolding protons works. Look at Hail Mary or Dark Matter for a way to have strong science but still keep the books fun.
