Query: Even if you want to like it, you won't

As many other reviewers have said, this book doesn't seem to have actually been written by Clarke - if it had, it wouldn't be the steaming pile of poo that it is. Rendezvous with Rama was good if not great - but everything that made it thought-provoking has been abandoned in this sequel. I kept reading thinking that somehow it had to get better, because it couldn't get much worse. But then it did....Even for free, it's not worth it.
