Arthur C. Clarke is indisputably one of the great sci-fi writers of all time. Not only are his novels 2001: A Space Odyssey, Rendezvous with Rama, and The Songs of Distant Earth classics, but he had a brilliant scientific mind. Based on a paper he published in 1945, he is considered to have been the originator of the idea of using satellites in geosynchronous orbit for communications. Talk about a world-changer.Childhood's End is one of his early novels, and probably not one of his best, but it's certainly enjoyable. The set up is familiar: an race of aliens parks their massive spaceships in the air above several of the world's largest cities. They set themselves up as benevolent dictators, of a sort, sharing much of their advanced technology with humans, yet retaining a level of control. Clarke draws similarities to colonialism, like England's colonial occupation of India.There are groups who resist the aliens' influence, but for the most part mankind enters a new era of peace and prosperity. Hunger and war are eliminated, thanks to the new technology, and work is mostly voluntary. No one has to work for basic needs; they just work at what they like. Eventually we find that the aliens are in fact working for an even more advanced race which has their eyes on humanity, which is about to enter a new stage of evolution.The story itself goes downhill toward the end, in my opinion. To me, speculation about interactions with alien races, the impact of technology on daily life, and cultural and historical futures are more interesting to me than the sort of mystical, fantasy story this turns into. Despite that, Childhood's End is worth a read. And get this: the edition I read had a blurb from C.S. Lewis! Any book with an endorsement from St. Jack is OK by me!Clarke's brilliance as a writer and storyteller are indisputable. Few have been as visionary as he. Even though this is not one of his "don't miss" novels, it's still a great read.

I read quite a few reviews before deciding to purchase this book. As surprised I was about the negative reviews, I do understand where they came from. However, that didn't stop me from giving this book 5 stars. One of the biggest complaints I saw was about the lack of character development. I think because the storyline spans well over 100 years and is told through different characters, you're really not going to get a ton of character development. Just enough to keep the storyline moving along. I think that worked well for this book but, obviously, many will disagree with me. Another criticism is that it has a dark, pessimistic view of human nature. This is very much true...at least, in the first part of the book. The Overlord, Karellen, tells humans they have "a notable incapacity for dealing with the problems of its own rather small planet." I'm a pretty pessimistic person and I agreed with every word of Karellen's speech. However, much later in the book, we discover that there is a kind of hope for the human race. The last major criticism was Clarke's incorporation of paranormal activities in the plot. I thought it was very interesting that he would throw that in there as well. It's explained much later in the book...suffice to say, science has not explained all the mysteries in life and maybe never will. At least, not in my lifetime. This book isn't for everyone. Some readers will downright hate it and understandably so. However, if you can get past these three main criticisms, I think it's definitely worth the read.

Probably my favorite SF book of all time. Written in 1953, and yet, the essential question posed by the story is still the definitive question we will face if confronted with a vastly superior life form, presenting fundamental changes to our existence. It starts out as a "strait" hard science early-SF novel, but morphs into so much more. I wish I could go into more detail, but that would be a HUGE spoiler. Read it. This is one of the VERY few SF novels that I recommend to my non-SF friends - and they have all loved it.

I was going to read a couple chapters and go to bed. Next thing you know, its 9am and the book is finished. And I am now a different person. lol you know the feeling, its one of those. I would say this is his greatest book. Even better than the Space Odyssey books.CAREFUL, they just made a SyFy miniseries and even looking it up on IMDB blows major plot points from the pictures.

Do not be put off by the age of the book – this is first-rate science fiction, a timeless classic. Arthur C. Clarke (of “2001 – a Space Odyssey" fame) published “Childhood’s End” in 1953, and though a very prolific author, this is one of his best. There are a number of small points in the book that will date the writing to around 1950, but the theme, powerful ideas, and superb writing make this a worthy read in the twenty-first century for anyone who enjoys science fiction.The title, “Childhood’s End” is a metaphor for the evolution of the human race to a higher level. That evolution is shepherded by an alien species called Overlords in the book. In only 226 pages, Clarke takes us through an understanding of the Overloads and their somewhat benign relationship with man, a visit to the aliens’ home world, and the evolution of our species. His prose is tight and gorgeous; and paints marvelous pictures throughout the story. It is an easy, quick read that will stay with you long after. Why this book has not been turned into a film is beyond me, although I do think it has probably inspired many other movies.Some readers complain the book is a bit of a downer. I did not read it that way at all. I highly recommend “Childhood’s End” to any science fiction fan.
