i have to be banned from this genre. for my emotional well-being

i can’t believe im saying this but the movie is better. this doesn’t fill me with nearly enough confusion or existential unease. like! i don’t like that i know for certain what the monolith did to those monkeys or why hal went the fuck off or wtf happened to bowman when he was becoming the space baby. BUT if you thought the movie was too wack i think you’ll like this more!! + it IS very well written & now i want to read the sequels

good book

4.5. wow dude!! sometimes i think i've grown out of ya fantasy and then something this fucking awesome comes out. but also i kinda wish the book ended when
