Reseñas de la Crítica

“A breakthrough book . . . a unique blend of scientific and philosophical speculation.”—George R. R. Martin

“Remarkable, revelatory and not to be missed.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"A must-read in any language.”—Booklist

love it!!!

I am a novice at physics, but the descriptions and analogies made it easier to understand. love the story!!!

Very Average Story

I honestly don’t understand all the love for this book. It rambles and lacks a clear direction. The narrator is good, but the story is SO BORING. If you enjoy books just because everyone else seems to love it, you will be happy with this book. If you are an intelligent and independent thinker, be prepared to be disappointed.

Simply the best

I’ve read this series multiple times and with the Netflix show now out, it was time for another dive. Loved this audiobook, great narration by Rosalind Chao, who btw is excellent as Ye Wenjie in the show. The 3BP trilogy is hands down my favorite SFF series of all time.

A Chore

The ideas presented were interesting, but the characters weren’t flushed out, and everything convenient happens. For instance, this is the hardest thing, only an expert can do it; the character did it the first time with no practice, amazing. There is a lot of that. Half way through, I thought I should just stop, but I pushed to the end. Get this is some free means, so you can put it down.

An amazing story

It was an amazing story while narrated by Roslyn Chao … the Netflix adaptation leaves so much out that this covers it so good highly recommend

Fantastic Story

The Three-Body Problem is more than just a sci-fi adventure; it's a thought-provoking exploration of what it means to be human in a vast and unforgiving universe. It's a strong contender for one of the greatest hard science fiction trilogies of all time, and a must-read for anyone who wants to be shaken to their core and have their perspective on humanity's place in the cosmos irrevocably altered.

Oh I’m so cool I read this book and understood it

It’s a fine book. I feel like this book was made for cool guys who wanted to study physics. Everyone who I’ve talked to about this book is like “duuudddeeee it’s so good! Such a mind bend!” But, it’s really not that interesting. It’s cool and fun for sure and if you want to slog through a book, you should just read a theoretical physics book. It’s the same stuff just packaged fantasy. I hope the tv version is more interesting because this book had me predicting everything that was about to happen, and then it happened! lol
It’s a fine book for people who want to say “l understand what’s happening.” But I think the people who already understand the concepts are going to find it boring.

Great story, science packed, great narration.

if you like this story, watch the 3 body 40+ episodes on prime video which tracks very close to the book, it's a slow burn but worth it. Much better than the netflix series which only hits the high points in 4-5 episodes.

Absolutely amazing

I can’t remember the last time I read a sci-fi story this good. 1000% would recommend.

Hope you are VERY familiar with physics

The story was good. It probably would have been better if I had more than a “Big Bang Theory”(the tv show) knowledge of physics. But if physics is your bag - then you should enjoy this title.
