Summary: A decent sequel, though not as good as 2001 and 2010
Review: Admittedly, I may have been influenced by 2001 and 2010 in grading this book with an 8 (maybe it doesn't really deserve it). However, it is quite a pleasant book to read. It doesn't add much to the story; the book it is more of a tour around Lucifer and its moons. ACC has amply sprinkled most of the book (and especially the begining) with chapters apparently irrelevant to the main story, but I found them quite pleasing and sometimes interesting to read. These digressions concern the economical, political and scientific development of the world (or should I say solar system?) in 2061. Though I wouldn't recommend it as strongly as the previous two books, if you've read 2001 and 2010, what the heck, get this one too...

Summary: The Odyssey continues.
Review: This novel, although a sequel, and a cashing in on the previous works, is still a fairly good staory.
Not a novel, because there is nothing novel about it, it simply continues the esxisting story, almost like a soap opera.
If you liked 2001 and 2010, you will probably like this one also.

Summary: Pretty lame
Review: I found several problems with this book. First, what was the whole point of the comet sequence in the beginning? It passed itself as information, rather than actually lending itself to the story. Second, nothing really ever happens, they get to the planet's moon and find a new life form, and...that's it! Finally, one of the most important and entertaining characters of the series, HAL, where is he? Oh, he makes a cameo appearance in the last three pages. Now I have heard that 3001 is out. Please Clarke, make it stop
Rating: 
Summary: Weak, but forgivable
Review: This book is pretty good but a bit weak and confusing. I also read 3001, and ACC has redeemed himself over this one. This book is great, far greater than I could ever have done, but not as good as his other three books
Rating:
Summary: Another example of sci-fi in sequal overdrive (overkill)
Review: Clarke revisits something that should be left well enough alone. 2001 is a classic that stands on its own, tampering only diminishes it. Of course the lure of fame and fortune overcame any thought of that. I recommend going back and reading Clarke's earlier work and skipping 2061, and 3001 for that matter.

Summary: Clarke cashing in on his reputation.
Review: How sad to see an author of such stature losing his marbles publically, and cashing in his rep.
Still, a better book than "Ender's Game" or "The Diamond Age". Almost anything is.
Rating:
Summary: very good
Review: I believe that this book will be one of hisbest but feel that the last few chapterswere a little confusing as to when the time line took place. There was to much of a gap
Rating:
Summary: Bland follow on to earlier brilliance!
Review: This book tries to string out the story from the earlier books. It's over long, and not very exciting.
Read 2001 and 2010, and watch the excellent films, but avoid this book.
Sorry ACC it's just not good enough.

Summary: this was a good sequi
Review: I was partially disappointed at this book. The first two odysseys where far better than this. The good side of it was you get to meet Dave again or whatever he has become. This is an intriging book. The only thing that disapointed me was the ending, But now with the release of 3001 I think it will be a lot better and it will close the ending
Rating:
Summary: In my opinion, Clarke could have done better.
Review: This book was too mediocre to be associated with the genius of the two previous works, 2001 and 2010
