I am generally apprehensive about reading books that are the basis for movies I have seen, and I became even more wary of this book as I discovered this was written in conjunction with the filming of the movie . I was, however, pleasantly surprised. There was enough difference and detail included in the book to keep me interested. I found myself hunting for extra time in my day to fit in a chapter or two which I take as a good sign from any book. I enjoyed this book.

I enjoyed 2001 more than the sequel. I was disappointed with the fact that this is more a sequel to the movie than the first book. That being said I still found the book entertaining enough that I will be continuing on to 2061.
