The Three-Body Problem

This book was weird. After so many glowing reviews (and an excited endorsement by Gizmodo), I really wanted to like it. But it was so disjointed and all over the place that it was really hard to enjoy. The writing was good, and certain parts of it grabbed attention, but then it would cut away from a scene with no explanation and never mention it again. Then everything was very hastily explained at the end to try and tie the story together.

It wasn't bad, but it certainly didn't live up to the hype for me.
