The Three-Body Problem

I'd say 3.5. The idea around the book is excellent. The other type of storytelling is also refreshing. However, many things were quite weird for me. For example, the three body game - where is the game part in it? The ‘player' was only a spectator in it. It was puzzling to me that he was apparently very good in it without doing a thing ;)
In general, I think the book has really good ideas, but mediocre execution with writing. The characters are slightly too procedural and dry. Maybe that is a cultural issue, and I am just not used to it. However, it was not a slog and reading was quite enjoyable.
