8797999 's review for:
2001: A Space Odyssey
by Arthur C. Clarke
I have never read any sci fi (unless Jurassic Park counts) so this was my first time reading any.
I had it on kindle some months and picked it up on audible yesterday during a sale. Having no book on the go I thought I would give it a go.
What a very interesting and scary read, scary not in terms of horror but in terms of what may be out there. It was very eye opening and I can see why people think so highly of it. I can imagine the impact it would have had at the time and how it inspired people in their interests of space and the cosmos.
It was a great read and superb from start to finish, I would have liked a bit more depth in the characters.
The ending I need to read again to understand it properly. I will for sure check out the film in coming weeks.
A great read, if you're going to start reading sci fi, no better place than starting at the top.
4.5 rounded up.
