Title: Nice try at reliving the glory days
Review: I found this book too far fetched, even for the grand imagination that I have. The plot was too focused on the human aspects of Frank Poole and not focused enough on the thing that made the 2000 series great -- the monolith. It seems to me that Clarke expended too much energy on introspection and human drama. The fabricated plot surrounding the Monolith seems like it was put in there to give a semblance of credibility to the fact that this story really shouldn't take place. All in all a disappointment.
