Offers up a cosmic view of the Jungian spiritual perspective. One of Clarke's best.

A good book with intriging ideas. I thought the ending was very cool. It was also pretty cool the way Clark described the planets in that kid's dreams. Where does this guy come up with that stuff?

Wow! To me, this book is the epidome of science fiction. It contains everything I love about the genre. When I finished this book, I just stared at the cover for a few minutes, just letting the ending sink in, which was both dismal and uplifting at the same time. It's no wonder that Arthur C. Clarke is one of the most renowned science fiction writers ever. I felt this book was better than his 2001: A Space Odyssey, which seems to get so much more press due to the movie.

I read this recently after having heard about it for years. It surpassed all my expectations. It subverses all your beliefs and ideas. Makes you question everything you've taken for granted. Great plot, even though it is not an "action-based" one. A classic!
