5.0 out of 5 stars 5 Masterpieces!, July 24, 2000

This review is from: Arthur C. Clarke: 2001/A Space Odyssey, the City and the Stars, the Deep Range, a Fall of Moondust, Rendevous With Rama (Hardcover)

This collection has 5 ACC stories, and among them 3 of the best science fiction stories of all-time. You will be hard-pressed to find an SF fan who will tell you that 2001: A Space Odyssey, Rendezvous With Rama, and The City & The Stars are not three of the best science fiction books ever written. And the reason, is simply because they ARE three of the best! Each one is a masterpiece in it's own right, the kind of future story that could only have come from Arthur C. Clarke. No one else could've written these books. That's not to discount the other two stories in this collection: The Deep Range (which is a good book about the sea (not space!) which a very poetic ending), and A Fall of Moondust, another ACC classic. If Amazon ever gets this book back, be sure to order it!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my all-time favourites, April 16, 1998

This review is from: Arthur C. Clarke: 2001/A Space Odyssey, the City and the Stars, the Deep Range, a Fall of Moondust, Rendevous With Rama (Hardcover)

The story of an expedition to a giant cylindrical craft that passes through our solar system. It's long been a favourite of mine and I have read it dozens of times. Apparently someone in Hollywood is going to make a film about it soon. Can't wait.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, bad series, March 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Arthur C. Clarke: 2001/A Space Odyssey, the City and the Stars, the Deep Range, a Fall of Moondust, Rendevous With Rama (Hardcover)

Unlike the other Rama books, with the possible exeption of number 2, this was escellent. The plot, the action, the characters, and even the setting was unbelievable. This was a well-written, well thought out book. And the last line was incredible....The Ramans do everything in threes...
