Negative Positive
Title: A good start that was published too early.
Review: I love Arthur C. Clarke's books. Always have. But. A big but... 3001 starts out fantastic and I blazed through the first couple of chapters letting Mr. Clarke tell me, what appeared to be, another good story. But it would appear that Mr. Clarke didn't want to tell a story. That he only told this story because he was asked to continue his most famous story line. The worst part is that he felt that he needed to flash back to remind the reader of what happened to Mr. Poole in 2001: A Space Odyssey. If I ever feel that I need reminding of that great tome, I will dust off its well worn cover and retrace those steps. 3001 just seems unfinished. A true Clarke fan may find it interesting, but few will find it the type of book that one can return to like our other old friends on our bookshelves.
