Unimpressed
I enjoyed 2001 for its immersive atmosphere, Rama, not so much. Maybe his ideas were novel when he wrote them (O'Neill was fiddling with it at around the same time), but in 2012 most of it lost its luster.
It is an interesting read though, but what really disappointed me was the size: it's a short novel you'll finish quick and it doesn't go as deep into all the matters it touches as i expected it to. I really hoped there was more depth to the story.
Short stories and novels are supposed to end, this one leaves too many questions unanswered as well as unexplored. by Vesperto
