I owe you an apology, Erik. Due to my inherent dislike to one-sentence reviews, I have marked yours of ''Rama II'' with the blue flag. Having just read the book, I see that yours is indeed the perfect review: it is very much true and it is hardly worth wasting more time with reviewing such trash (which was definitely not written by Clarke, I agree). Therefore, I apologise. Have tried to remove the blue flag, unsuccessfully alas.
