Negative Positive
Title: A major disappointment from an old master.
Review: Clarke establishes a lot of fascinating concepts and goes about describing them in an interesting manner. But overall the novel is very short on plot. You are left with the feeling that he set out to write an epic, but got tired, thinned it out, and ended it quickly. Also, the bringing-back-to-life of Poole- with intact memory and mental faculties- is not very believable.
