I won't give this one a lengthy review, especially because so many reviewers here seem to share my sentiments. (1) This book did not treat women kindly. Yea, I know a lot of sci fi fantasy doesn't, and maybe that all rubs me the wrong way, too. (2) I am not a scientist Mr. Niven, so you know, you have to explain things. Seriously. I don't know what a stasis field is, nor a Slaver gun, or a Shadow Square nor do I understand the theories of what not and everything you seem to assume I know. If you're gonna write sci fi, please do it so everyman can understand. Or put a sticker on it that says for "physicists only." (3) Not only do you have to explain the science, but also like everything else that makes Ringworld, et al. not like Earth. Niven's descriptions of places the characters went to, even the characters themselves was awful. I generally think I'm a creative person and I kept looking at the cover trying to figure out what he was talking about. I say, unless you MUST read all the Hugos/ Nebulas, or you are a scientist you won't like this book much either.
