The Three Body Problem

book cover


Three/fourths of the book are impossibly and intentionally convoluted and incomprehensible. Not enjoyable reading. The only remote sense of enjoyment and clarity that came from the satisfaction of pushing ahead and through to the last few chapters and to some kind of conclusion. I don’t understand how this is anyone’s top 5 sci-fi recommendation. The positive is that the science is very good and the ideas are very original. There are no tropes here. No handholds for the well-practiced and experienced reader. In that way, it was enjoyable in its newness. There’s also the lack of familiarity in regard to the voice and authorship from the Chinese POV. Historically educational and stretching in that way. Difficult reading, but not uninteresting.

Hatchet

As a former teacher, a mom, and now a grandmother I have read many children’s books. I chose this book because it’s on my grandsons summer reading list. It is filled with adventures. I had a hard time putting the book down. It has made me want to read the rest of the books about Brian. This book is a realistic fiction. It is based on many of the real adventures Gary Paulson experienced.

Listened to this as an audiobook. I was expecting more of a crime novel, but this wanted to be more drama. Nothing thrilling at all.

Some Places More Than Others

I am a retired teacher, mother and grandmother. I try to read books that my students, daughter and grandchildren have to read. This book was brought home by my grandson and he asked me to read it. It is a story of family dynamics. Amara is given a school assignment and felt what better way to complete it than by going to NYC to meet her extended family. At the end her dad and grandfather amend their relationship. My family is also estranged. I wish like the book it was that easy to make amends.
