Wrapped up the first book after much struggle. Am I crazy for finding it extremely poorly written? Writing aside, the characters suck, the motivations suck, and the scenario building feels like it was tossed together by a 12 year old. I don't get the hype. Everything is paper thin. The fictional science aspect is the most compelling part but as a cohesive whole it fails to land.

Thank you.

I read them all, hated them, and spent a good week finding negative reviews so I could fume at them in company.

I disagree with you on 3 Body, but I love reading reviews that match my opinion just so I can be like, "Exactly! Thank you!"
