What there is in this world, I think, is a tendency for human errors to level themselves like water throughout their sphere of influence. After a lifetime of fiercely believing in justice, she comes to the conclusion that "there is no justice in this world. Leah imagines Africa before the Europeans came and thinks about how the Europeans changed life there for the worse. She recognizes that Africa is Africa and cannot be changed, as much as men like her father believe it can be: "The way I see Africa, you don't have to like it but you sure have to admit it's out there." ![]() She imagines she can never go home to the United States now, not after so much has happened to her she just wouldn't be able to fit in.

Ringworld is a good, but not great novel, that almost rises to its premise but runs rings around delivering full satisfaction. ![]() However, get past the Big Idea, and the actual story of Ringworld is a whisper-thin thing, a suprisingly low-key tale of extraterrestrial discovery in which not a whole heck of a lot really happens to grab you by the short and curlies, and with enough unanswered questions that Niven was essentially put in the position of having to write a sequel ten years later in order to settle them and stop his fans from grousing. For its influence and brilliance of ideas, Ringworld richly deserves its classic status. It may well be SF's most amazing concept period. The Ringworld itself, a colossal manufactured world circling a sun, containing enough room to solve any planet's overpopulation problem, is a conceptual gobsmacker. But a little perspective is called for, I think. This may well prove to be one of the more controversial reviews on this site, as Ringworld is a staple of every SF reader's basic diet.

Roald Dahl on the other hand did share some similarities specifically with one book he wrote in 1975, Danny, the Champion of the World. ![]() Amis's writing style was also not similar to Mascott. Mascott, Amis's authoring of Colonel Sun was never a secret. ![]() Amis was usually seen as unlikely since a year later he released Colonel Sun under the pseudonym Robert Markham, however, unlike R.
