The Three-Body Problem certainly takes a _while_ to get going. I gave up the first time reading it on my phone. But I kept hearing others sing its praises.

Years later, I started playing the audio book on a roadtrip. At some point, I couldn't "put it down", so to speak--especially as the plot twist is gradually revealed. The sequels are extraordinary, and perhaps among the best sci-fi ever written.

I couldn't put the thing down. Then I had to immediately order the sequels. Different strokes for different folks. There have been plenty of books that people have recommended to me as page-turners and I just couldn't get through them at all.

Yep snooze fest for me too. DNF
