I remember seeing the film, (and reading the book to look for  
answers to my questions) ..but I do recall being unimpressed  
with the stories.  The source of the monoliths is still  
unexplained - if I recall.  And how/why Bowman achieves the  
ability to transport himself like an omnipotent being/spirit  
left questions.

I don't think I even bothered finishing the 3rd book.

omg.. there is even a 4th:

Publication Order of Space Odyssey Books
2001: A Space Odyssey	(1968)
2010: Odyssey Two	(1982)
2061: Odyssey Three	(1987)
3001: The Final Odyssey	(1997)

I recently watched Arrival. That too was kinda hard to embrace  
- particularly the physical representation of the aliens, and  
how they even managed to build the spaceship they travel in.
