Comments to Firstborn by Arthur C. Clarke


Submitted by Anonymous (Sep 15, 2008)

Not quite a turkey but frustrating. This volume is not as tight as its two predecessors. In fact, it's all over the place. Then it stops. Doesn't end, just stops. No wrapup. Before buying it, read the last chapter. Since it's only two pages it won't take long. What happened to the Martian? What happened to Mir? After more than 1,100 pages (the three books of the series) those two pages are all you're gonna get. It's like sitting through a long, complicated joke with no puch line.
