The Three-Body Problem book cover
This book was a drawn-out, tedious read that I was in danger of aborting several times until it finally pulled off a miraculous redemption in the last few chapters. I was going to give it a 2/5 when I was 90% through the book, but having read the last 10% I'm happy to upgrade that to 4/5 and looking forward to reading the 2nd book. 4/5

Several fantastic diamonds of novel ideas sprinkled about, but mixed in with a large mass of goo, soulless characters, narrative/logical inconsistencies, poor choices of what to expand on and what to omit, and a really disappointing conclusion.
