Negative Positive
Title: Read something more worthwhile.....
Review: This book is, thank God, better than the atrocity that was 2061. There are some interesting ideas about the future - especially religion. The story is mildy entertaining, though quite uneventful. However, three quarters through this book, Clarke decides he needs to go ahead and end the series. He slaps together an extremely anticlimatic, sloppy ending, leaving you completely dumbfounded that more thought and effort wasn't put into concluding this series. Clarke's inconsistencies throughout these books were annoying as well. It seems as if each book changes or contradicts something that happened in a previous story. Bottom line - 2001 was great. 2010 was a cool addition, although not necessary. 2061 and 3001 are simply superfulous to the storyline and add little to the original masterpiece. Life is too short for such mediocre, unentertaining books.
