Flawed Classics.

“The Three Body Problem” was the first book in Cixin Liu’s “Three body” trilogy of books. It is difficult to read. Translated by his brother (Ken Liu) who obviously was able to speak and translate English well he still failed, to a small extent, to use English fully. The book, still a work of genius, failed for a long time to gain the Intenational acclaim it deserved. “The Dark Forest” translated by Joel Martinsen was so easily read and appreciated the world over.

My answer is, of course, “The Three body Problem” by Cixin Liu. Destined to become a Sci-Fi classic. If you gave up give it another go. It’s excellent.
