The Three-Body Problem

This is the sort of book my partner would appreciate more than me, honestly. I enjoyed it and I know logically that it is well-written, well-put together, paced well with engaging characters and is, in every way technically perfect. Ken Liu's translation keeps the flavor of the original while making the book understandable to a Western audience.

That said, I'm terrible at physics and there was more than one moment where my eyes glazed over because what even are they talking about? Me and science just don't mesh well.

On the other hand, I enjoyed it enough that I plan to buy a physical copy and look forward to the sequels. Even someone without a strong science focus can find many things to enjoy in Cixin;s work.
