bencan_t 's review for:
2001: A Space Odyssey
by Arthur C. Clarke
I feel a little bad bringing the movie into it instead of judging the book on its own merits. But they were developed in tandem, so I think it's okay.
The book explains what the movie doesn't, to the point that you may need to look up a plot summary of the book to understand the movie. While the opposite is not also true, I would recommend watching the movie anyway.
I found Clarke's writing style kind of dry, and the stunning visuals Kubrick creates in the film add a layer of appreciation I wouldn't otherwise have if I just read the book.
