The Three Body Problem trailer for the new Netflix adaptation is out. I must say I am very skeptical of this one. This being one of my favorite books I have my doubts that they will do it justice. I'm sure it will be visually interesting and everything, but that's not really the point. Especially not for book 1.
I recently watched both the Tencent live adaptation as well as the animated adaptation of The Dark Forest and sometimes I feel like these books were better left on paper. The live show wasn't bad or anything it just has a different feel to it on screen that's hard to understand.
Warning: please refrain from posting book spoilers in this thread. General discussion is fine.
Enders shadow (the bean story) is the only one worth a minute of your time. Speaker of the dead had some interesting ideas regarding star travel, but quickly became overly simplified.
That simplification was expanded on (by making more parts of nature simpler and simpler) in the hive queen and the hegemon, and then made incredibly spiritual in xenophobia (might have that name wrong, never finished the book).
As contrarian as forums on the internet are, I've yet to see anyone argue the enders game series is worth finishing.
I feel we can also add the Dune series to the same list. I think the first book is the strongest, I couldn't get into the 2nd, but I'm told the first 3 were good then it goes rapidly downhill from there.
