Has anyone read The Three-Body Problem? priory is overlong but has some great parts. the recent prequel is a step down but still decent. i read 3 Body 6 years ago but don't remember anything about it.

ChatshireCat Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 (edited) Priory was really good, Poppy war was decent but you have to be in the right mindset to read it imo. Babel was a bit overambitious and it showed. Edited March 24, 2023 by ChatshireCat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m thinking of reading the book before watching the series, if it’s worth it. I DNF it when I was almost done with the book . I thought the entire book was mid but kept on reading on because was curious as to what the reveal was. Once it got to the reveal I was disappointed and just quit the book. I'm not a seasoned thriller reader (been slowly getting more into it) so I don't know how it compares to other books like it. I did not know about the show though. I would honestly say to just watch it instead. Edited April 16, 2023 by Lipgloss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what's I'm feeling so far I've read so many mids lately when I tried to pick out the most popular, good reviewed ones recently. Goodreads is not being a good indicator as I thought Edited April 17, 2023 by MonsterJohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m thinking of reading the book before watching the series, if it’s worth it. Super boring. I wouldn't even classify this as thriller/suspense, it's just a domestic drama. Maybe the show will be good though. The Flight Attendant was an awful book but the show was pretty good. 23 hours ago, MonsterJohn said: Did anyone read The Silent Patient? I started and it's ok but not really giving so far One of the worst books I've ever read. I will never understand its Goodreads accolades. I swear they bought those awards. If y'all want a top tier domestic thriller, check out: Ashley Audrain: The Push Amelia Kahaney: All The Best Liars Ashley Winstead: The Last Housewife Chandler Baker: Whisper Network Jessica Knoll: Luckiest Girl Alive Edited April 17, 2023 by Miles.

plaidarms Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 (edited) I finally got around to reading/finishing 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle after putting it off for ages. The ending was certainly… a choice. I did read The House in the Cerulean Sea not too long ago, and it’s an easy, feel-good read. Would recommend if you’re in the mood for something lighthearted. I think I might start Molly Tanzer’s Vermilion soon. Edited April 17, 2023 by plaidarms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
