Protector Audiobook

" The Protector was a genius. Great classic sci-fi with great ending. "

" Just love the idea that humans are meant to undergo a metamorphosis and how it neatly fits in with human physiology after age 35 or so. "

" Awesome quick read. Probably most interesting if you've read the Ringworld or other Known Space books, but will stand on its own. "

" Just good, hard Sci-Fi. "

" One of my favorite Niven novels. "

" A great entertaining read. "

" Not as good as Asimov, but interesting and good on the detail. Very inventive storyline. "

" This was one of the more challenging books that I read as a teenage scifi fan. But I found that I just could not put it down. This led me to reading other novels by Larry Niven, most of which were a good blend of science, science fiction, and good story telling. "

" I really liked this book. It has held up well with age. My only complaint is that the martians felt tacked on and completely unnecessary to the story. "

" Useful story, for Niven's Known Space universe, but the actual book wasn't very compelling to me. "

" Totally indescribable. Probably one of the best science fiction book that I have ever read. "

" As with most of the 'Known Space' stories, this is a great premise even if the execution is a little inelegant. I've stayed away from funny smelling bananas ever since reading this, and I've been keenly interested in strange sides of biology. "

" I just happened to time the reading of this book perfectly. I read it shortly after I read Ringworld. Things started to make more sense as I moved into Ringworld Engineers and Ringworld Throne. It is a bit slow in places but it picks up. "

" The review for this book is on Episode 15 of ComicPop Library. It will be uploaded Friday (March 30) or Monday (April 2, 2012). You can find the podcast on iTunes or listen at our website at comicpoplibrary.com. "

" Very thoughtful and critical foundation information needed when reading the classic 'Ringworld Engineers' "

" This is actually one of my favorite Niven books. I think this is one of his best formats. The story is long enough to be engaging, but not so long that the novelty of the idea starts to wear off. "

" Again, so-so. Too many characters, hard to keep track. Some story arcs feel too trivial in the larger scheme, others too large to absorb. I rate this worse than Children. Somehow felt very... lost. "

" Loved all of the books in this series. A great imaginative world, books have a great flow very easy to read impossible to put down at times. "

" The first two Ringworld books were a lot of fun. This one was boring as hell and dragged on forever. I am not a quitter when it comes to reading books. I like to give the benefit of the doubt and stick it out until the end. I couldn't here. "

" I can't believe this is Niven... maybe I'll finish this book someday, but there are too many good books out there to read to waste any more time on this. I got about 2/5 of the way through and I've completely lost interest. :( "

" Glad I am done with the series, or at least all that I am going to read. Didn't enjoy the series at all. "

" The worst novel I have ever read across any genre. The flimsy less-than-half-assed plot combined with the piss poor prose makes this book near impossible to read. Science Fiction at its worst. I dare you to see for yourself. "

" Not as good as the first 2. "

" This was a disappointment. I mean, Niven knows how to get you to turn the page, but the first part of the story is about characters I'm not really attached to, and the second part was something of a rushed train wreck. It's the opposite of over-written, it was under-written "
