2001 A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clark

2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clark ~V^^^^V 

Well a big space geek like myself would find this book fascinating. While someone a little less interested in scientific space knowledge may become bored. I was completely flabbergasted by the amount of research that clearly went into this book. The basic knowledge of main spacial math, processes, and distances made this book an amazing SciFi read. So much of the data is still applicable today, it is just amazing. I guess other than gushing over and over again I will just say; if you have not read this classic yet, I would recommend it. You know, if you are into that sort of thing. ~Michelle


Side note:  The original Stanley Kubrick film adaption of this movie was just plain bizarre!

I hope to review this whole series soon. I have a few other things on my plate right now but just as soon as I can I will give you my thoughts on the rest of this series, for now here is book 1. 

I liked it and am anxious to continue with the series. However I can't go above 3 stars because I felt like most of this book was an info dump. Now don't get me wrong I completely understand the need to set up the world, explain the aliens and the bad guys. That was not my issue, I do feel like I have a through understanding and I assume the information won't repeat in the next book, or at least not to the same detail. I just felt like it took to much from the action of the story. When the action happened it was intense, detailed and fantastic. It should be fun reading where "Kitty" goes from here, for which I am anxious to begin. ~Michelle
