Review: Lucifer's Hammer by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle

The good

• An interesting premise: what would happen to humanity if earth was hit by a massive comet.

• Once the story starts focusing on post-apocalyptic survival, it gets pretty interesting, with a decent mix of action and social commentary.

The not so good

• The part before the post-apocalyptic survival feels too long.

• Most of the characters feel wooden and two-dimensional. The women are little more than sex objects.

Rating: 3.5 stars
