Review of 'The Three-Body Problem' on 'GoodReads'

This was a stunning read. A dense mix of history and science entangled in a science fiction story. I especially liked the insight into the history of China written by a Chinese author. The science part is also very up2date. There are quite a few twists to the story and the characters are quite nuanced. This makes this book an interesting read and a novel in the rather classic sense and easy to read even for non-science addicted readers.
