This could have been a great novel. However, it's current form as short story falls flat

Should have been longer

the story sets up dramatic tension, then just ends. the reader is left wanting more. at least, this reader was.

seems like an unfinished work

Clarke is an excellent writer. but the sci part of this sci-fi classic is so far out sync, and his earthly timelines are so distorted, that it takes a hard suspension of scepticism to stick with it.

Not bad, but very dated

This one could really have been 1/2 the length and lost nothing. Narration was excellent. Great story but moved very slowly.

Beautiful but long winded

As another reviewer suggested, tales this creative are not told by authors living today.

Eh... Not bad. I don't much care for cliffhangers but it's a decent story overall.
