Avis sur le produitRingworld : A Novel by Larry Niven (1985, Mass Market)

Ringworld - Larry Niven

I was originally introduced to this book during high school in the mid-seventies. Needless to say, I was apprehensive as to how I would view the book now that I'm "older", or was my memory clouded by time? Nope! It's still just as entertaining now as it was then. I think it's high time to pick up others in the Larry Niven collection.
Larry Niven has a way of giving enough detail to get the imagination going without being overly detail-oriented, which can cause a story to become tedious. After all, books were made to get the brain juices flowing, and Mr. Niven does very well in this. I can hardly wait to get another of his!

Not as good as my memory of it

I loved RINGWORLD the first time I read it, shortly after it was released decades ago. In the interim, either my tastes have changed, or I have gotten more sophisticated -- probably both. Anyway, Niven does a pretty good job on this but all puzzles are not solved and many questions are not answered. Still, it's a decent adventure-type romp, and students of the field really ought to read it at least once.Lire l'avis complet...

Ringworld - Enter the mind of Larry Niven

Enter the mind of Larry Niven, award winning author and the man who dreamed up 'Known Space'.

The Ringworld is exactly what the title says it is. It is a world, in the shape of a ring with a star in the center. The Ringworld is hurling through known space on its way to who knows where.

It was first discovered by the Puppeteers. Puppeteers are cowards, so they do not explore on their own, they hire others to explore for them and being cowards, they make sure they are in complete control at all times.

One such Puppeteer, names Nessis, hires two humans, and one Kzin to go with him to investigate the Ringworld.

What follows is an exciting tale of discovery, wonder and imagination that will leave the reader wanting more.

This is a classic Sci-Fi novel that should be read by every Niven fan, and anyone who enjoys a great Sci-Fi novel.Lire l'avis complet...

Fantastic Fun and Thought Provoking Read.

You've probably already read this book, so you don't need me to tell you how good it really is. If you have not; I encourage you to read Neutron Star, Protector, Tales of Known Space, and of course this book: Ringworld. That's where I'd start; then move on to whatever particular line of stories you like best from Larry Niven's list.

Happy Reading fellow traveler. Enjoy.Lire l'avis complet...
