More slow burn character drama than genre thrills
Reviewed: 10-09-19
You'll be disappointed if you're expecting tons of spooky stuff to happen every page. It's mostly clever dialogue and psychological drama, which I thought was amazing in it's own right, and arguably more scary than random ghosts killing everyone all the time.
If you're a fan of the Netflix show though, be warned, it has absolutely nothing in common with it other than character names and a few tiny details here and there.

This near-future trilogy is the first chance for English-speaking listeners to experience this multiple-award-winning phenomenon from Cixin Liu, China's most beloved science fiction author. In The Dark Forest, Earth is reeling from the revelation of a coming alien invasion - in just four centuries' time. The aliens' human collaborators may have been defeated, but the presence of the sophons, the subatomic particles that allow Trisolaris instant access to all human information, means that Earth's defense plans are totally exposed to the enemy.

Narrator is much better at pronouncing the names.

The last book's narrator butchered all the Chinese names really badly. This guy's much better.

An enlightening novel with a refreshing attitude.
Reviewed: 01-06-18
Written by, shockingly, first time writers, this book either ignores every college girl cliche, or flips them in a way that makes something you've heard before feel authentic and real. I haven't seen the YouTube show the authors hit big on before writing this, but if their charismatic and hilarious reading is any indication, it probably has the same charm and wit as this book. A book with no narration might sound odd, or like it might be a limit on how effective the storytelling can be, but that's not the case, at least not with this book. Dunn and Raskin not only never fail to miss a beat in terms of character or emotion, but it's obvious that keeping things as coherent as they were through only email and texting was the most challenging method to tell this story. Dunn and Raskin are more than up to the challenge, however, and here's to hoping they write a follow up real soon.
