Title: Be sad, be very very sad.
Review: It was with great anticipation that I picked up the book from the library after having reserved it. I was looking forward to a typical AC Clarke novel of imagination, excellent writing, futuristic imagery, etc.(AC Clarke readers know the rest) I was shocked, disapointed, dismayed and angry. I was angry at ACC for allowing a book of this importance to be written as if a team of 12 year- olds had assembled for a writing assignment. No, I take that back, 12 year olds have more imagination than is evident in 3001. I suppose the thing that angered me the most was the writing style. It was flat, with little use of imagery, and did not evoke any emotion or wonder. I am very sad. This should have been a glorious culmination of a series. Instead it is a waste of our dwindling forest resources.
Is the review positive or negative?
