2.0 out of 5 stars This is NOT the Arthur C. Clarke Novel, May 8, 2009

This is an abridged, re-worded, and re-phrased version of the Arthur C. Clarke novel as retold by Elizabeth Walker. This book is intended for consumption by an Elementary School audience and to that end fulfills a need. This is not what was represented in Amazon's advertising. I ordered a classic novel and got the the Classic Comic book or Cliff's notes version. The illustrations look like comic book art. Not what I expected and was very disappointed as I had to wait a month to get the book. If I'd known, I'd canceled and just have gone to our public library.

I haven't read this - I don't know how good it is. All I know is that this is not the original novel. It is an abridged version for children. I feel stupid having wasted money on it. They should really make it clear in the product description exactly what this is.

I wish I had noticed that this was a Macmillan Reader. It is excellent for young readers but I wanted the version written by Arthur C. Clarke so, to a degree, I was disappointed.
