Velislava Kovatcheva velis — An amusing read, but I think I still prefer Brin and Simmons when it comes to epic space opera. Probably the most interesting thing about this book (and, I assume, the rest of the series) is the millennia-spanning time scale of its narrative, which Asimov handles by establishing Hari Seldon's statistical prophesy, and then dropping in at critical junctures to investigate how individuals contrive to fulfill that prophecy. It's kind of a fun model, always knowing the general direction of the plot without knowing the detail, a bit like reading the last page first. It can also be dull, contradictory, and occasionally unpleasant. There isn't that much suspense when you can always know Seldon is going to end up correct, and the in the end the Foundation will end up ushering in the Renaissance. Asimov's characters also aren't all that likable, or human. They're like strategic robots, avatars the author can inhabit to explain the brilliance of the little political puzzle he's concocted. It's also slightly ridiculous that in a universe where computational power is so great as to statistically model the destiny of civilizations with great accuracy, we are asked to believe that individual wills and intellects are responsible for shepherding these statistical trends. Characters are always saying, "Oh, it's a Seldon crisis, we should make sure we don't screw this up." Of course they won't screw it up. This is also a universe of white guys. I'm not against books about white guys, and I don't think every book needs to have a sympathetic, fully-realized representative of every socio-sexual-political-racial identity, but I don't love books about boring, soulless white guys in which all the other humans are pointedly idiotic. I think there is one woman in the entire book, and she's a petulant, impotent princess who's easily impressed by fancy jewelry. I guess it's not really a book about people. Anyway, a decent read, though I'm not feeling particularly compelled to read the next. Should I?

Orchid Orchid orchid_creative — Smart, thoughtful

Adrian Ngin adrianngin — Fantastic!! Leaves you with such a sweet spirit in your heart and soul. I loved the powerful quotes from a prophet of God. You can truly tell just how much President Hinckley loved the women of the church. The artwork was also so beautiful and inspiring. I read it in less than a half hour but I know that I will keep it close to re-read often.

Shane Power shane04 — Loved It! The first night reading I stayed up until 4am. I could not put this book down. I read it so fast that I may decide to go back and read it again. Great story.

Thomas Gao slantyboy — I finished. Amazing. I was somewhat amused to revisit all of the major characters they've had throughout the series. I was also amused that the commentary of what kind of people mostly populate the world we live in. But the pontificating that goes on for pages and pages, I could have done without. What was it with everyone trying to pair Richard with Nicci? Think they may have a say in the whole thing? Everyone was extreme. So basically, if it wasn't for the fact that I really wanted to know how the whole thing ended, I don't think I could have slogged through to the end. Which I guess says something - it was a good enough story that I did want to know how it ended. However, I read the book in just over a day because I skimmed through the majority of it - like watching a show on TiVo in fast forward. I'm glad I'm done with it.
