I've heard good things about TBP so was going to add it to my list, but like the post above I had no idea it was not a standalone.

As far as being a trilogy, do you NEED to read all 3 or are you saying that it's just so good that you'll want to? In other words if I just read the first one, when I'm done are there going to be like 50 unanswered questions left

Yes, it's one story in three books. I would not recommend reading just the first book.

You will not get a resolution to the story if you don't read the trilogy.

I will say, though, that of all the people I have loaned the first book to, only one was interested enough to finish the series. Not because it's bad, but because they just couldn't get past all the Chinese names in the book and semi-hard dive into physics. Plus the Chinese political and cultural stuff kind of threw them for a loop.

That said, it is an outstanding series that really looks into Man's place in the universe.

Even knowing all of what I mentioned above, it is still a top 10 series for me, and I recommend it to anyone who asks.
