2001: A Space Odyssey Audiobook

" A very enjoyable read, even after many other authors have explored similar themes. "

" The easily readable sci-fi great was a brilliant introduction to Arthur C Clarke for me. It filled in the blanks that had been left from the film, but not only that, I saw Clarke's vision and his inescapable wisdom and wit. A truly fantastic book which I hope to introduce to my son soon. "

" More detailed than movie. So some parts more interesting - start and end mostly. "

" It was certainly interesting, but I agree with many other reviewers that it is mostly famous because of the impact that the movie had on special effects history. The book read quite slowly, and the immense detail often felt unhelpful and mostly contributed to the lagging pace. Some may like this book, but despite my love for science fiction, I have concluded that Arthur C. Clarke books aren't for me. "

" my favourite book of all times. "

" Never saw the movie but with all the hype, I found it lacking. Probably cause this is a classic & so many other books have incorporated alot of this into their own works. "

" Kills the movie in every aspect. Read this and skip the film. "

" good... nuff said "

" Alto viaje. "

" just watch the movie, no seriously "

" Really appreciated reading the opening scenes of the book (as compared to seeing them in the movie). Very interesting book. "

" Found this book fairly riveting. "

" Loved the movie and loved the book! The movie is a bit more abstract, the book a bit more detailed. "

" As thought-provoking as its visual companion, and almost as formally innovative. This book is a treasure. "

" this goes beyond the normal science fiction .although Clarke's vision of the future was not fully realized as rapidly as he expected.the content of this tale will inspire countless future generation to explore the cosmos.one of the best book in the space odyssey series. "

" HAL rocks, and I vote Dave as my co-pilot. The book moves faster than the film, but the film... is just so different its classic. "

" I found this one really tough going. I am not a technology person, & I found Hal to be a very creepy computer. The story was disjointed, & I didn't get the movie any more than I did the book. "

" It's 2012 "

" At the time I read it, it really affected me. One of the best books I've ever read. "

" This series makes me wonder probably like the author as to whether seemingly unnatural and unexplained events if any ever occured and which inspired religion were simply interstellar interventions by forms ahead of us down the evolutionary path and who are masters of the experiment we may be. "

" One of the best books that I've ever read. Simple, straightforward, entertaining and thought-provoking. "

" Classic Science fiction by the master! The foreward presented by Arthur C Clarke described the circumstances of the novel and how Stanley Kubrick was instrumental in the direction of the storyline. Great stuff these old timers ..... back from the days of classic scifi!!!!! "

" This is the book that made me realize that I like science fiction. I read it all in one go on the porch when I was 11. "

" Not easy reading for a 12-year-old, but I was a 12-year-old geek. Okay, that was decades ago and I still like it. Very well thought out, despite it's dated title. "

" There is a reason that this is a timeless classic. No more to be said. If you haven't read it yet, do so, and you'll understand. "

" The movie makes way more sense after reading this... "

" Okay, this was a good read. I have seen the film, but the film was a bit boring. The ending is great. And just for the monolith adn the ending this gets 4 stars. "

" An after-the-movie novel based on the screenplay. Clarke's short story "The Sentinel" was the inspiration for the movie. This book explains what the heck was going on for those of us who didn't get all of it. Especially at the end. "
