I don't know if this is actually quite three stars for me, but it is three stars compared to his other book I read, Rendezvous With Rama. While Rendezvous had no plot, cardboard characters, and answered pretty much none of the questions, Fountains did better. There was actually a plot and an effort to develop the characters. But in the end, it seems like Clarke is really more of an idea guy who then tries to construct a book around that idea so people will read about it. Not really my style for the most part.

“Because politics is the science of the possible, it only appeals to second-rate minds. The first raters only interested in the impossible.”

Hunger in this life encourages belief in a compensatory afterlife, as a, perhaps essential, psychological survival mechanism

Опер Кларк, опер 1,5/5. Уместо да буде научна фантастика он убавује Тапрабни само зато што воли Шри Ланку. А то онда више није научна фантастика!! Оно са лифтом после кад је било ајде ђене ђене није лоше, али недовољно занимљиво. Књигу од 315 страна читам месец дана!
