The Dark Forest
The Dark Forest by Liu CixinMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
In many ways I enjoyed this second book of The Three Body Problem series more than the first because the narrative appeared easier to follow (possibly with the benefit of the TV series too). I was less often trying to understand what the story was and could instead focus on what was happening and the various plot twists. The humanity just seem Read more of this blog post »

| I enjoy this series immensely, but this felt a shadow of earlier stories. For far too long it seemed more like an X-rated Scooby-Doo and the gang mystery than a Tilly and Poe intrigue. It kind of got there in the end, but there were many times where ...more | |

| Initially I found it tricky keeping track of all the characters, just as I had with the Expanse series (and that was despite having had the benefit of watching the TV series first). However, as the narrative and the familiarity developed through the ...more | |

| An interesting and sad tale. However, I found the speculative post apocalyptic setting for part of the book more engaging than the story itself. I don’t regret reading it and it is well written, but it was impossible to feel especially connected and ...more | |

by Peter Apps (Goodreads Author) |

| Doesn't necessarily answer the titular question, but it gives a very clear idea of what it might look like. Cleverly weaves much that a student of current affairs would know with added value and insight that many wouldn't, providing a fascinating ove ...more | |

| Some of the early stories were intriguing, but I was struggling to maintain interest for several of the later tales. Very stylised and "of an era", which isn't necessarily a bad thing. The downside though was that sometimes I wasn't initially sure wh ...more | |
