Author: Clarke, Arthur C.
Status: Read before
Genre(s): Science Fiction, Non-fiction
Books: 62 (Both fiction and non-fiction), as well as several short stories. Best known for 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Books Read: 2001: A Space Odyssey; 2010: Odyssey Two; and Rendezvous with Rama.
Why Chosen: As one of the “Big Three” along with Heinlein and Asimov, I felt that he had to be included.
Thoughts:
Pros: Well written books. The science of the books was researched, and explained.
Cons: Can be very heavy on the “science” elements, which I found could break up the pacing a bit and made it difficult to wade through, as I could get chunks of “this is how it works” when I just wanted to get on with the plot.
Would I read more of this author: Yes
