I enjoyed this read, from the outlook of Chinese culture to the scope of the story, it is enjoyable. The only portions that were slow and troublesome were at the end when the book focused on the Trisolarans and their activities...what benefit of explaining scientific failures of the 1st and 3rd dimension was there to the story? But the scientists, the game, and Da Shi might be one of my favorite characters I've read this year.

It was well thought out and very much enjoyable. Liu has the rest of the story complete, I hope the new translator did as good of a job as this one. It was very hard to know it was a foreign language book originally.
