5.0 out of 5 stars A moving end to a wonderful series, 9 Sep 2004
This review is from: Rama Revealed (Paperback)
I rarely write reviews for books on Amazon despite the fact that I order and read hundreds of books a year. But upon finishing Rama Revealed I felt moved to write a review. This series has been wonderful, and the way in which Clarke and Lee have developed the characters feels to me to be so realistic and totally believeable.

The scale and scope of the conclusion is sometimes hard to comprehend. In particular the character of Nicole des Jardines Wakefield is so complete, with human feelings and emotions, and after the passage of time through which we have followed this woman you begin to feel as though you know her. I will freely admit to shedding a tear at the end of this book. If anyone is unsure as to whether to finish this series then I urge them to do so, they will not be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Relieving, 8 Dec 2002
This review is from: Rama Revealed (Paperback)
The final book in the Rama series is one which is approached by the readers of the saga quite gingerly, maybe even reluctantly. The other three before it were getting weaker and weaker, so what about the colossal Rama Revealed? Well, I am relieved to say that the book was excellent, and stands as a masterpiece of a conclusion for Clarke. Unlike the slighty patchy ending to the Odyssey series, (which is, however, better than the Rama series), this last book is definitely not the least. It is a rollercoaster ride, and better than Rendezvous with Rama, Rama II and Garden of Rama combined. Full of twists and turns, any sci-fi reader will love it. Take the book with both hands, as it really isn't as bad as you might have thought beforehand. Let your suspicions rest, because you will thoroughly enjoy this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best "hard" sci-fi series i ever read!Very Good, 19 Jan 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Rama Revealed (Paperback)
This final book in the Rama saga is indeed a very good sci-fi conclusion.It has A.C.C. brilliant ideas and some wonderful characterisation by G.Lee. It has some of the best answers to Important questions on God and the universe.

A Must Read!
