Ugh. I know, I know. A classic. Winner of awards; the big three of SF awards, even. I found it really hard to find something I like from this book aside from the giant cat-like character named Speaker-to-Animals. The main character, Louis, was super bland, the female characters were just his sex toys basically (I thought this one was a James Bond novel in disguise) and most of all, the plot, was just meh. Too many traveloguing, too many expositions and characters explaining stuff to each other. I wished the ship crew were all aliens. That would be more interesting.
I don't really love Rendezvous with Rama as a BDO story, but at least it is not as annoying as this book. Even if I disregard the poor female characterization due to the era when it was written, the story itself failed to engage me. Anyway, so glad I am finally able to read and finish it!
