  The theme bits- luck, godliness, control- are very good, but the action adventure backbone has aged badly.

  Huge scope, plastic characters

  I re-read this now and then for the sheer awe factor. The description of the Ringworld is so incredibly awe-inspiring that I don't care about the shallow characters or the weird story.

  Not bad, but hardly a masterpiece

  Ringworld is considered a classic in sci-fi novels, but still it lacks a lot in the characters development and scenes cohesion.
  Still a better novel than most can be seen around today.

  Short Review

  Awesome Adventure. When some cowardly but very intelligent alien decides they want to research a mysterious world they enlist the help of two humans and another different alien. They have many adventures and a few "What ifs" during their arrival and escape from the world.
