Book #44: 2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke
Number of pages: 252
This is a book that I've read several times, and which I previously reviewed here: https://gavluvsga.livejournal.com/1108402.html
I wanted to re-read the whole series because I was worried I was just rushing through them and missing details, so I was being extra-careful to read this book as slowly and carefully as I could.
I still enjoy this book a lot; it's a little unconventional, with the central character, David Bowman, not appearing until part 3, but I love the huge amount of imagery that Arthur C. Clarke puts in this book, particuarly during the last few chapters that tell the famous "star gate" sequence from the film.
The book was written at the same time as the film, and although it doesn't make anything clearer, I still think it's the best of the four Odyssey books.
Next book: God Knows (Joseph Heller)
