A review by mbsmith93
The Ringworld Engineers by Larry Niven

1.0

After being disappointed with book one I'm rather confused at why I bothered to read the second. This was more of the same. More aimless and pointless plot. More gratuitous male sexual fantasy -- and this element became far more severe than in the book before it and made me wonder if the Larry Niven has a bestiality fetish or something. And if that wasn't enough the author was clearly using this book to post-facto fix egregious scientific errors in book #1 and trying to make it look like he planned it all on purpose - which he quite obviously didn't.

The only positive thing I have to say about it is that it is better than the dumpster fire that was "Bowl of Heaven" by the same author.
