2010: Odyssey Two, by Arthur C. Clarke

5.0

This was my favorite book in the Space Odyssey series. While these books are usually more interested in introducing and discussing various concepts regarding space travel and technology, than telling a story with fleshed-out characters, I think this one actually did the best at doing both. I really enjoyed reading about the Leonov crew and found their journey to and from Jupiter incredibly fun. I'm not at all scientifically inclined, but Clarke did a great job at ensuring that even I could follow along with whatever broad concept he was talking about. Additionally, it was a great follow-up to the events of the first book showing us Bowman's fate and giving more insight into the monoliths themselves.
