Overall, I found some of the reactions of humans to the Overlords to be unrealistic. though at least Clarke was consistent if nothing else. I found it easy to forget that the majority of the book was set in the 21st century due to the writing style which is a product of its time. As are the racist sentences throughout

The descriptions of alien locations are awesome, the many reveals are bombastic. I would be happy to reread this in the future.
