This book has some amazing ideas in it. The world it builds for the trisolarans is top notch. But this book reads like a textbook most times. The characters as flimsy as the paper they are printed on. The main character's wife is just called wife. His son at least is named. Overall, lots of cool ideas, not much in the way of writing skill.
