Unlike the first book, this story focuses more on the interaction of individual characters than political maneuvering to defeat a more powerful opponent.

I read this book to continue the Foundation series, but I didn't like it nearly as much as the first, and it caused me to stop reading the series.

Review

Overall:

Rating-5.svg

— This section contains spoilers! —

Good

  • I like the ending, Asimov did a good job on it.

Bad

  • In general, I found the book to be a little boring. There are several large events that happen, but the writing isn't very suspenseful or interesting.
  • A lot of the writing is very dated for a futuristic settings. Everyone is a smoker, they used phrases like, "what's the big idea, doc?" etc.

Ugly

  • Nothing
