Childhood's End by
Arthur C. Clarke
My rating:
4 of 5 stars
This book forces you to look deep inside of yourself. Not intellectually; but in a way that demands you to ask deep probing questions. Who am I? Why am I here? What is my purpose? When I finished this book; I wondered if these characters asked these questions. There is a part in the story, where the writer leaves the reader with a large gap; more than eighty years time. While mankind is spiraling down; out of existence. The reader is left to wonder, how did the last of humankind see themselves. The descriptions are vivid and frightening. Yet, in the end; he manages to paint a picture of hope. A new beginning in a new galaxy.
