They're not even really the same thing. Clarke was somewhat incapable of writing true tension, at least most of the time. His prose is a cut above that era of scifi, I think, and his ideas are great, and sometimes sad stuff happens in his books, but the overall impression is never one of suspense. The whole series is great, though. He didn't make the mistake of dragging it out too long that others did. I'm curious to see how Clarke's version compares to Kubrick's.
