Summary: A must read and reread!
Review: Arthut C. Clark is my hero! He posses the ability to place you on Europa and enables you to observe the evolution of a new "intelligent being". The utilization of hard science interwoven with a fabulous imagination sends me into orbit! It was great to see that water has been dicsovered on the moon. Now we can get on with the real journey to the stars..

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: excellent book!! The best SF-novel available
Review: Unlike many other sf-works this book still has a touch of reality in it. Instead of being casted in to some TOTALLY made-up world where virtually EVERYTHING is possible, arhur C clarke has written a book that also appeals to people who don't get off on books that feature three-headed wortors from the planet of Qwerturia. Clarke knows how to capture the reader from the beginning to the very end of this book. This book is like no other and of course it's fiction, but Clarke writes so clearly that it almost becomes reality for the reader! Fantastic!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a worthy sequel
Review: i wish that all four books would fall in a sequential order. in lthe 2001 book the mission was to Saturn. And the 2010 book's mission was to Jupiter. all the other books,2061 and 3001 more or less follow 2010. however in 2061, Lucifer (Jupiter) burnes out. in 3001 Lucifer shines normaly to the end of the book!? oh well the author does indicate that the books do not folow a sequential order.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a thrilling sequel
Review: this book filled in the answers to a lot of questions left in the air after 2001

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Great Sequel
Review: Upon reading 2001, I saw that Arthur C. Clarke had set up a high standard in his works. I knew that if he wanted to have a sepuel, it would have some pretty big shoes to fill. With 2010 I saw that Clarke could live up to his own accomplishment. The masked conflicts were again lurking and came out after a well-constructed plot. The Russian and Chinese elements brought out international as well physical problems and questions. With the destruction of the Tsien, It became apparent that Europa was going to be a focal point of the novel. I saw that there would have to be something more than observations and recordings as the first third of the novel presented. Again Clarke brought his readers through a long passage of time without the onset of boredom. Bowman's appearance and story gave a fine inside view as to how Arthur could humanize anybody. The monoliths were in their elements as simple question marks in a fact finding mission. I admired the way Clarke could create suspense and a feeling of closeness in a place of extensive distances. I can only wait for 2060.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best book Clarke ever wrote
Review: This book is the best book in terms of plot and "timing", it is almost impossible not to read the book in a single day. The details are superb. Read this book, specially if you have read 2001. This book and "Fountains of Paradise" are the two best books Clarke has done.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A good sequel for 2001
Review: If you enjoyed 2001, then you will probably like this book as well. It comes pretty close to the standards of 2001. Especially if the ending of 2001 left you with some questions and you are curious to see how ACC "filled in the blanks", then you should probably read this book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: As good, if not better than 2001
Review: 2010 has a very detailed plot with many suprising twists and turns. Many times during the book, which I've read twice, I was amased by how unpredictable it was. READ THIS BOOK!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Clarke starts a sequel series of his most famous novel.
Review: The Odyssey series now numbers 4 books. 2010: Odyssey Two was the first sequel. It used the time-tested marketing ploy of a similar title: 2001 vs. 2010, to gain attention. It worked, and fortunately, it lived up to its billing.

Odyssey two takes us to the next series of events following the climatic finale of 2001. How Jupiter starts the life on it's satellites into high gear, and how mere earthlings respond to this.

A worthy successor to 2001.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Arthur C. Clarke brings 2010 to life...
Review: 2010 is the second book in a series of four. It takes place in space on the spaceship Leonev. The crew on the ship set out to Jupiter on a mission to study the Jovian satellites, and encountor strange accurances happening. Arthur C. Clarke is a great science fiction writer that has no limits to his imagination. If you`ve read 2001, then keep reading because the books just keep getting better as you get farther into the series and the future.
