The Three Body Problem trailer for the new Netflix adaptation is out. I must say I am very skeptical of this one. This being one of my favorite books I have my doubts that they will do it justice. I'm sure it will be visually interesting and everything, but that's not really the point. Especially not for book 1.
I recently watched both the Tencent live adaptation as well as the animated adaptation of The Dark Forest and sometimes I feel like these books were better left on paper. The live show wasn't bad or anything it just has a different feel to it on screen that's hard to understand.
Warning: please refrain from posting book spoilers in this thread. General discussion is fine.
I listened to the first two books in the series on audio. The first book was very interesting and it kept me hooked. The second book was.... different feeling, it just didn't feel as good as the first book. The 3rd book, Death's End, man, it was such a slog even in audio book format that I stopped listening to it a little past half way through in favor of another book.
Like was mention, I wonder if it's an issue with something being lost in translation, but the first book was so good that doesn't seem to be an accurate explanation.
