I will respectfully disagree. I really liked the beginning when they were introducing the setting, talking about crunchy sci-fi stuff and detailing how the ship's gravity (constant acceleration, had to strap in and be very careful if accelerating, and the first contact stuff). (I'm trying not to spoil anything, apologies if I'm being vague.)
Later on, when they were talking about the Moties in detail, I couldn't seem to suspend disbelief well enough to actually enjoy the rest of the story, and I gradually got more bored the further I went.
Strangely, I found I enjoy the setup and description of the Motie cycles much more than the early parts. Kind of horrifying and reminded me of the Protector homeworld with the sterilized Protectors and the library in Niven's Known Space.
There was a recent discussion considering the idea of a monthly Book (later expanded to movies, links, etc) thread. The poll was pretty unanimous that this was A Good Idea (tm). The past two threads have had a decent amount of activity, so let's keep going.
