finished reading The Dark Forest by Liu Cixin (Remembrance of Earth's Past, #2)

Liu Cixin: The Dark Forest (Paperback, 2016, Head of Zeus)

This is the second novel in the "Remembrance of Earth’s Past" near-future trilogy. Written by …

Really enjoyed this until I got to the last 80 pages or so. Quality drops, it feels rushed, and the ending is seriously underwhelming.

Good content, though somewhat naïve in places. We are inspired by this and likely to try it out in our church. But the book is appallingly edited, making it needlessly hard to read. Very repetitive, keeps duplicating earlier material in later chapters, doesn't clearly distinguish the model from the author's particular experience, doesn't clearly present the point and argument of each chapter anywhere.
