2001 - A Space Odyssey January 2011

3. 2001- A Space Odyssey by Arthur C Clarke

260 Pages, Borrowed from Local Library

Another film related book, this time a much more enjoyable experience!

If you've seen the Sci-Fi classic film by Stanley Kubrick then you'll know it can be a bit hard to follow...to say the least!

It turns out that this book was written by Clarke in conjunction with Kubrick when they were creating their film masterpiece.

I loved the film and having now read the book I find my enjoyment of the film is even greater. The book fills in a lot of the gaps, leaving you with a clearer understanding of what's going on during the dialogue-free sections.

There are a few differences between the book and the film (Different Planet!) but nothing that would spoil things.

In fact, it's such a good book, you can enjoy it without having seen the film or ever needing to see it...although you should because it brilliant!

I give this book 5 "Star Babies" out of 5!
