Yeah, I was interested at the start and then it started, and continued, to go downhill for me. I kept going in spite of growing concern because I hoped they’d tie it up well in the end, but no. It may partially be cultural and I can also see some argument for artistic tragedy, but it just didn’t work for me.
I don’t know why this happens to me but sci fi books that have “boring” characters like Raft by Stephen Baxter are books I actually really enjoy and find the character’s to be realistic. Maybe I’m just a boring person irl
Wow guess I’m the outlier? I couldn’t put 3BP down, and then I got to the Dark Forest and loved it even more.
Deaths End fell apart terribly though.
It’s not that I liked how he wrote, I’m not sure if it was the translation that caused this, but he did not seem like a good writer at all. But I was very intrigued by his plot and ideas.
Yeah, I certainly wouldn’t recommend to everyone as being just an absolutely fantastic book. I liked it a lot, but could definitely see why some would not. I have really enjoyed what’s out of the new Netflix series for the show though, I’m probably more likely to just recommend that to people. It actually feels like thought was out into the characters now! Haha
I’ve tried like 6 times to keep slogging through. I was convinced it would be great if I just got to the point where it started being great. Now I feel validated.
“She seemed disappointed to learn there were sequels” got me, lol
Wtf, I love AI now!
Though not quite in the same way as OOP.
Me when I finished Three Body Problem (I hated it).

That’s how I felt too. I was excited for deaths end, but I put it down about half way through and never got back to it.

History stuff : interesting but unnecessary violent (for me)
The rest: gibberish
