It was almost as if it was written by a different author. Arthur C. Clarke's 3001: The Final Odyssey is the not so thrilling conclusion to the space odyssey series. The Odyssey of the Monolith and the Hal 9000 computer is among the most fabled stories in all of science fiction. As sad as this may sound, I would have expected better from a first-time hack writer. Instead 3001 takes the series out with a whimper instead of a bang. "2010" was a more straightforward story, but it pushed for greater ideas about HAL's existence and the purpose of the Monolith. by Bette Greene, Titolo: 3001: The Final Odyssey (Space Odyssey, #4). I took 3001 on vacation because I wanted a fun, fast, mildly interesting read. . His novels and short stories fuelled my avid interest in science, evolution, and academic pursuits. I wonder if it would have even been possible to get this one published if it had not been with Clarke as the author. I thought the humans were going to get into a real good conflict with the monolith, but instead all I got was that weak spectacle at the end when the monolith was defeated. First of all I want to say that Clarke is a genius, and you should respect that regardless of your thoughts about this book. Poole was worried people would be discouraged from riding their bikes? That it was written by Arthur Clarke makes it even more disappointing. Something we believed to be benevolent was actually not... A good read in its own right, but sadly didn't do much for the saga, The only peice of future truth to be gained was about religion of our day being the cause of 70% of our problems, Worth the read just for this thought provocking isssue. I also start to wonder why I read it at all. Flat, stale, unprofitable to read, and with a totally lame ending that leaves the reader unsatisfied. I and a lot of other science fiction readers have gotten used to the idea that Clarke was a true prophet. Basically, it is a commentary on the society present in 3001 as compared to the 20th and 21st century. 3001: the Final Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke is a science-fiction novel that is ultimately compelling. Arthur Clarke promotes his underdeveloped religious and philosophical ideas in a way that has nothing to do with the plot. His would begin Jan. 1, 3001, but he thinks it begins a year earlier. . 3001: The Final Odyssey (Space Odyssey, #4) by Arthur C. Clarke, Fatty Legs: A True Story – Christy Jordan-Fenton, The Cancer-Fighting Kitchen: Nourishing, Big-Flavor Recipes for Cancer Treatment and Recovery by Rebecca Katz, Tipping the Waitress with Diamonds (Nina Harrington), The Doctrine on Which the Church Stands or Falls: Justification in Biblical, Theological, Historical, and Pastoral Perspective (Matthew Barrett), The Japanese Skincare Revolution: How to Have the Most Beautiful Skin of Your Life–At Any Age by Chizu Saeki, The Backyard Fire Cookbook: Cooking with Live Fire, Coals, and More – Linda Ly, Technical Blogging: Amplify Your Influence – Antonio Cangiano, Why Economies Rise or Fall (Peter Rodriguez), Philip Hall Likes Me. Generally pretty lame, although the idea it takes off from is kind of fun--the recovery and resuscitation of astronaut Frank Poole, whose body had been flash-frozen one thousand years before. I think that 3001 was a wonderful story and all my thanks to Arthur C. Clarke for writing such a fantastic and mind captavating novel!

I give this book more than 1 star only because the first third of the book starts off quite captivating. 2061, although not fantastic, was a solid conclusion to possibly the greatest science fiction epic of all time. Clarke himself did the homicidal computer bit much better in the original 2001. Skip this book, and check out the Red Mars series instead. This turkey shouldn't have been written. ", I feel that this was a disappointing finish to a classic series. Then, enjoy an additional thirty pages or so of acknowledgements BY CHAPTER! Along with having to adjust to the culture, Frank learns of the history behind the missions in 2001, 2010, and 2061. It is interesting, but a bit scientifically sophomoric. Clarke's vision of the future is a masterful one. As for the end, I turned the page for the next chapter to be confronted by no more story! ACC should have stopped at 2001, a truly great read from one of the best movies of all time. A lot of people voted poorly on this novel. Tranne invece che tentare di rialzarsi e cercare di fingere che la sua caduta non sia mai avvenuta, 3001 si crogiola nel fallimento, seguendo la stessa idea di 2061 ; non accade nulla. This book is terrible. If this is an indication of how his abilities have slumped in his later years, I believe that it is time for him to give up writing and take up gardening. It was very different than most sci-fi type books. Like so many of his recent works, Clarke's "3001 - the Final Odyssey" hangs a few tenuously-connected vignettes together, with a heavy sauce of Clarke preaching about what he sees wrong in today's world, as here he revives "2001" astronaut Frank Poole to be the butt of numerous lectures from his "betters" in the "more civilized" world of 3001.
