The Dark Forest (The Three-Body Problem: Pt 2)
This book made me feel despair, hope, and thrill all at the same time. Throughout the story, I felt as though there was no chance for humanity, but at the same time, deep down, I knew there was an answer hiding. The author did a good job of keeping all elements aligned and maintained the thrill until the very end. Once I reached the middle section, I could not put it down and finished it in a single sitting. If you read a not too many science fiction, you must pick this one up.
