A review by matttj17
2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke

4.0

This book was amazing and is easily one of the best science fiction books out there. Extremely ground-breaking, and thought-provoking. I’m a huge fan of the movie, and was very interested in Arthur C. Clarke’s original take on the story. I highly recommend reading this, especially if the movie confused you, since Clarke wrote the book at the same time as the script for the film. To actually understand what the movie is explaining, this book is plainly necessary. That being said, the novel is much slower, and it does drag a bit in the middle. But very enjoyable, and a great staple of science fiction. Highly recommend.
