The story is really jumpy and I felt it was disjointed. I didn’t really enjoy it like I thought I would.

I love these authors, but I didn’t enjoy this book. It starts in childhood and then moves into adolescence. I prefer books from the perspective of adults.

The story of Whandall Placehold, and how he grows up and becomes successful.

It's another one of those "life journey" novels that I seem to accidentally start reading. It takes a while to get going, and never really gets me too excited. I expect a lot more interesting things from the Niven/Pournelle combo, but this book didn't do it for me.
