Rainbow Mars - Niven
During my travel to and from France this week I finished reading Puzzi's The Godfather and L Niven's Rainbow Mars (SF)

Although I enjoyed Niven's older books I have to say Rainbow Mars is probably the most crappest SF book ever published. omg, how can a SF story be so unimaginary, so full of cartoon characters, totally hilarious dialogues.

Several times I wondered during reading it 'Did he write that?!'

Anyone else read it?

I just knew I shouldnt start reading a book that involves time travelling, the idea itself is crap.
