Ringworld by Larry Niven
2.0

The concept of Ringworld is a lot more interesting than the book itself. We have Niven to thank for planting the seed that grew up to be Halo, but other than that this book is somewhat stale. The prose is lacking, the characters are boring and lack emotional depth, and even the discovery of what is on the ring, an inherently interesting part of a book about exploration an ancient alien megastructure, fell flat.
