2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke
3.0

Fun story. LOVE the space stuff.
The misogyny is gargantuan. "girl assistants", barf.
Ending was mediocre. Maybe it was intentional but I got utterly lost after Bowman passed through the Star Gate. The descriptions were not great and the ending wasn't particularly satisfying.
The middle of the book however was excellent and I would read it a hundred times. I love spaceships I guess.
