### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Worthy Read, "Okay" Writing
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2023*

I almost skipped this book because the bad reviews. For example, people said it didn't have the main characters in it, was too confusing, etc.There are reasons to not like the book (like alien sex, long character names) but it fits into the Ringworld series and is worth reading before #4.It does have some of the main characters from the previous two books, they just don't come into play until around 40% of the way in.I didn't find it confusing in terms of story lines,  there are only a couple at any given time, but I did have to re-read some action scenes a few times as the writing wasn't very clear IMO. But if you want to finish the ringworld series, I would read it.I really struggle to give it four stars, but I did enjoy it, for all its flaws. The ending felt rushed.

    It feels almost like each page needs to be about 1/2 a page ...
  

*by G***Y on Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2017*

I am writing this as as a counter balance to the negative reviews here.There is no doubt Larry Niven's writing style is an acquired taste. It is often (every other page or so) difficult,  if not impossible, to tell who is actually talking, what precisely they are talking about, and the significance of what they say. It feels almost like each page needs to be about 1/2 a page longer to make room for the missing exposition that would make it all make sense.That's not going to happen. If you are willing to let go of needing a detailed, specific linear narrative, let go of needing to know who is talking, and even which character is which, and simply accept that Niven writes in what I call "bursts of brilliance" strung together, you will see what it's like to be Louis Wu-- because you'll be thinking like him. Things happen, people die, sex (rishathra) is handled as a commodity and a way for different "tribes" to negotiate & trade with each other... all linked with and by Niven's bright mind, skipping along a gigantic idea (Ringworld), like a skipping stone or a stepping disk; contained in an even larger, more thrilling and mysterious gigantic idea (the universe). Acquired taste, yes.. and for those who acquire it, rewards galore.
