Book Review

The Dark Forest by Liu Cixin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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!
