The Dark Forest

The book is good, neat font and very simple language.The story flows well, though it takes time to set the pace, it transcends midway and keeps you on the edge of the seat.

Intriguing concept

Beautiful writing and ability to conjure up such an enormous worldview (though universe view would be more appropriate here) is difficult to ignore or put down. The story moves at breakneck speed while keeping up with the promise of its predecessor. Motivation for some of the characters and the ending canbe questioned but these get dwarfed by the mind boggling scope and detailing of the novel. Overall had a great time and looking forward to the next instalment.

70% of the book is to set up what's a brilliant rest of it.Curious to know what's up for the 3rd part.

i dont want to spoil the contents , but sheesh this one is better than the first part. and for the product part , dont buy hardcover ,paperback is way better ;D

It's well paced, the subtext and characters are well written. The science or even the fictional science is well constructed.

The narrative is faster paced and more gripping than in the first part (The Three-Body Problem). It tends to be rather verbose at times – almost Asimovian in the long-winded dialogues. In fact, there is a bit about Isaac Asimov’s The Foundation Trilogy in Arabic and Osama bin Laden.No connection, but the latter's nemesis Barak Obama has this to say about the book, “Wildly imaginative, really interesting. The scope of it was immense.”Waiting eagerly for Amazon to deliver the concluding part to learn about the confrontation between humanity and the unfortunate aliens from a planet orbiting (if that is possible) wildly around three suns!

Surprisingly dark with a tiny bit of hope at the end

Great book. A slow middle is made up by a memorable ending.Continues the story proposed in "The Three Body Problem". Luo Ji is an unlikely candidate to be a Wallfacer (Earth's response to the Trisolaran invasion). After an interesting setup, we get stuck with... his imaginary girlfriend, meeting her, his life with her... Who needs to fight an alien invasion 400 years later when you have such a great life? Of course, everything changes, and Luo Ji is forced to get down to work.The human interaction with the "droplet" is one of the most memorable interactions with the alien technology in a page-turning yet horrendous section. This is followed by the story of Zhang Beihai which was running in parallel and is ultimately very insightful.Then we get back to Luo Ji who makes up the last few chapters. Without revealing anything more, Luo Ji stands out as one of the best anti-heroes I have come across. You too will love to hate him.The "Dark Forest" and humanity's response to it is the goal of the book. Excellent writing, wonderful characters, mind-bending science, and more. The writer has built on the world of "The Three Body Problem" and extended it significantly.If you think the story has ended at the end of this book, wait until you read the 3rd book "Death's End"!!

I really enjoyed reading this book. It was really entertaining and I have enjoyed all three books of this trilogy. Liu is an excellent author. Highly recommend all three books.

It was a bit slow in the begging, but the second half was simply excellent. There are a number of plot twists that keep you on your toes, and and the characters are very well drawn and very relatable.

Türkçe çevirisine yönelik ağır eleştiriler sonrası orijinalini aldım, kitap sağlam iletildi, fiyat da uygundu.

Wer keine Fortsetzung der SEHR abgewandelten Netflix Version erwartet, wird hier nach dem Vorgänger voll bedient. Insgesamt ist der zweite Teil zwar etwas schwächer als der erste Band - das Überraschungsmoment des ersten Bandes ist natürlich etwas weg - aber dennoch sehr lesenswert und mit interessanten Zeitsprüngen versehen. Tolles und ungewöhnliches Sci-Fi Buch!
