Now that the humans are stuck on the giant spaceship, they must learn what they can about it, what's going on, and about the other inhabitants. For a 'small' totally contained world, this is a fascinating book. ( )

A chronicle of the slow decent of a good book. Garden of Rama takes all the magic away from Rama and serves only as a painful reminder of what could have been a good series. ( )

I read this many years ago, and don't remember that many details, but it was bad enough that I could not be bothered with reading Rama Revealed. ( )

better than part 2, the first half is pretty fun, then the second half is a bit depressing and drags on. I don't think i like sci-fi books that focus this much on how shitty humans can be. It kinda feels like the author was writing this book and half way through like his wife left, his dog died, or something, and the tone of the book is completely different. I was still very anxious to see what happened next, but i was pretty depressed when it did happen. I like fun surprises not depressing ones.The only reason i read this book (I did not enjoy rama 2 very much) was that i had already purchased it, and it was the second to last unread fiction book on my shelf. However now that i've read three out of the four books, for some strange reason i remain optimistic that the 4th book will be better than the middle two. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0553298178, Paperback)

In the spellbinding Arthur C. Clarke tradition, here is an exhilarating adventure into the hearts of both the Universe and mankind...

By the twenty-third century Earth has already had two encounters with massive, mysterious robotic spacecraft from beyond our solar system--the incontestable proof of an alien technology that far exceeds our own. Now three human cosmonauts are trapped aboard a labyrinthine Raman vessel, where it will take all of their physical and mental resources to surviv. Only twelve years into their journey do these intrepid travelers learn their destination and face their ultimate challenge: a rendevous with a Raman base--and the unseen architects of their galactic home. The cosmonauts have given up family, friends, and possessions to live a new kind of life. But the answers that await them at the Raman Node will require an even greater sacrifice--if humanity is indeed ready to learn the awe-inspiring truth.
