Title: Good concept, but never seems to develope
Review: The mystery of the monolith, being so cryptic and strange, is an exceptionally good concept for a science fiction plot. After all, everyone whoever saw 2001 wonders at times about the monolith.Sadly though, it seems that the author never really figured out how to develope this idea and ended up just dragging it out through 4 books.This sort of was an obvious let down for readers.I also felt that the series was more devoted to his idea of the future and the universe than delivering a real storyline. The storyline was merely used as tool to express his quite fasinating image of the future to the reader.I must admit, the fourth book is a bit predictable. He needed to finish off the series and was only capable of thinking up a medicore climax.
