      The Three Body Problem is a good blend of mystery novel in science fiction. Unfortunately it left the reader wondering what's next and hoping for sequels. It did leave open ended some very important questions which included the storyline of why scientists were being killed who is actually doing the killing and the purpose of the scientist's death. I will read the sequels just finish up the story.

      Incredible SF. I have read it, saw the movie and now listen to it.
    • 5/5
      I much prefer Rosalind Chao over the other narrator. Really glad they asked the actress on the Netflix show to narrate the book.
    • 4/5
      I suspect the prose is better before translation into English
