Review title: Clarke At His Best
Product review: Let me start out by saying that this is the sixth or seventh Clarke novel that I've read and that, with the possible exception of2001: A Space Odyssey, it's my favorite and the one I found most awe-inspiring. I think the secret to Clarke's best work is that he is perhaps science fiction's most gifted minimalist; instead of bogging the reader down with unnecessary jargon and info dumps, he writes in a crystal-clear style that gives the impression that you are looking at his brilliantly-imagined cityscapes and landscapes through a window rather than reading about them in a book. He also has the gift of defying expectations - I knew at the beginning of this book that he was going to take his protagonist on a great adventure; to say that that adventure went far, far beyond what I had expected is a vast understatement.Give this one a go. If you are already a Clarke fan, I can pretty much guarantee you will enjoy it. If you are not, it may very well make you one.
