The other two books are _that_ good?
I just finished the first book. The three body problem and its ramifications was interesting, as was the social background. Other than that, it was a decent YA novel, nothing more. If the other two are that much better, I'll give 'em a shot but otherwise...
- jiscariot 3y agoIf you've already read 1, you really should read 2/Dark Forest.
- ioseph 3y agoIMO the first book was the strongest, followed by the third, I found the 2nd a slog to get through.
- kaycebasques 3y agoThe second was a slog for me too BUT weirdly enough the ideas and events that I'm thinking about the most come from that book. I have wondered many times whether the second book would have been a more enjoyable read if they had stuck with the translator from the first book, who also translated the third book.
- jiscariot 3y agoSeems like everyone disagrees with the ranking of 3PB books. Probably a good thing. On 2 read-throughs, I vastly prefer 2 then 3, and consider 1 a bit of a slog.
