Negative Positive
Title: Don't waste your time
Review: Clarke is not a master of insight into the human soul, and "Childhood's End" reflects that soullessness. There is not anything here worthwhile enough to redeem this tedious paean to the New Age philosophies. If you want to read Clarke at his best, look at 2001. It's far more readable than Childhood's End, and has the added advantage of not aspiring to silly philosophies that ultimately can't be substantiated
