" This one was even a little more disappointing than the first - in order to fit into this story, Niven contradicted what was basically the whole point of the first book. Again, an entertaining story that keps you reading, but disappointing characters, uninspired aliens and a bad ending ruined the redeeming qualities of the book. Maybe I'll change the rating after reading the third book, we'll have to wait and see. "
