No, it's an excellent read chief. The Dark Forest i good, too. Waiting for the third volume.

that's why i read it. worth it though. couldn't be fucked with the second book though.

I remember some article was released of obamas reading list and it had a Chinese scifi book on it.
And im just thinking, nigger shouldn't you be worrying about syria

Can The Dark Forest be read on its own?

Furthermore, can the third volume be read on its own?

not really no.

Just read the first book you mong. It's like watching the last episode of twin peaks on its own and feeling /ooh spooky/
