Three Body Problem is a strange book - I really enjoyed it (reading the 2nd sequel now) but I can understand why a lot of people find it off-putting. It is a real throwback to the 50s style of scifi, big ideas but terrible characters and a plot that bounces is strange directions. If nothing else, it was an interesting change. I also enjoyed The Player of Games but found it suffered from Ian M Banks syndrome - unlikable characters being forced into unenviable situations. But the plot was great.
