“Larry Niven's Ringworld is a well thought out story that keeps the readers attention throughout. The writer on one hand delves boldly and deeply into scientific detail yet does so without unduly confusing or frustrating the reader. The story continues on at a good pace and has enough mystery to last through to the last few pages. All in all an excellent read and good reason for being a sci-fi classic.”

“I LOVE this series. It's something I would have read when I was younger, but I didn't read it until I was older... and it still kicked so much ass.”

“Niven is one of my favorite living sci-fi writers, certainly my favorite "hard science" author ever. This book, along with several others in the "known space" series, has much to offer. Niven has a keen eye for thinking about the unforeseen consequences of technology, and for getting to the issues that underlie the issues.”

It's very heavy science fiction, with a lot of difficult names to pronounce (punctuation where you don't want it), but a fantastic world to dive into. Once you finish it, you'll want more.”

“One of the top five books I read in 2008, and one of the best works of science fiction I have read. Niven mixes a truly wondrous science fiction idea with fun aliens, lovable characters, a romping adventure, and a sense of humor & irony that makes this book a great read.”

“A classic, that employs some clever hooks that, at their time, must have seemed revolutionary and new, but are unfortunately such a staple of many books nowadays that their import is lost.”
