Lives up to the Hype submitted by brielle on July 23, 2018, 8:56pm This book was excellent. The blend of snark, suspense, and science were perfect, and I highly recommend it.

2001 submitted by tbbrown76 on June 25, 2020, 11:07pm It's okay. I don't think it holds up well over time. I gave it two stars.

Brilliant submitted by KidBlue on August 7, 2022, 8:08pm Written at the same time as the film was being made, it is an essential classic of science fiction.
Perfect.

A Classic Worth Reading submitted by mickplu on August 3, 2023, 2:19am I was familiar with the movie but found the book to be different enough that it held my interest. It is still suspenseful even if you think that you know the plot. There are some twists and the ending differs from the movie as well.
