Hmm. Wondering if I should stop watching 3 body problem and read the books? The concepts/ideas in the show are really fascinating and I imagine they are explored more deeply in print. But how is the writing (or rather, translation)? Worth it or no?

definitely worth it! the books are the real deal. translation is pretty good IMO. the show is going to make you cringe.

I saw the trailer for 3 body problem and as a sci fi fan jumped all over the book first to get a head start. Couldn’t finish the book. Very laboured writing. Completely unbelievable plot developments. Basically a book that hangs a lot of math over boring writing. If I was into maths… maybe. My view: avoid!

I struggled a bit with book 1 (it took a while for me to really get into the story and setup), but with book 2 I was hooked! But be aware that it is really truly 100% hard sci-fi, there are some wild concepts in there! If you love that stuff the books come fully recommended!

The basics outlines of the plot and the science are the same, but characters, dialogue and timelines are kind of mishmashed in the TV series . I've only read book one, I can't say it was GREAT.Writing is matter of fact, not really worth it. I'm 3 episodes into series and wondering if I should just stop and read book2.

I really enjoyed the Netflix show so NOW I definitely want to read the books! 📚 But don’t stop watching over an opinion piece.
