The Three-Body Problem

I had a hard time getting through this book (putting it aside for long periods of time while I read other material) and will probably skip the other novels in this series. There is definitely something foreign between the Communist Chinese and Western style. It's hard to put a finger on it, but it was just difficult for my Western mind to really enjoy the concepts in the book. It was just too bizarre and unsatisfying. Some think this is a very frightening story of a coming Earth invasion in which the invaders have managed to destroy the very advancement in Earth science prior to the invaders physically being able to reach Earth. But, for me, I just couldn't take the concept seriously and most of the characters seemed very two dimensional and unappealing living in their very hive-like Communist world. I wound up asking myself “Who are the real aliens here?”
