Mochte die beiden Vorgänger, aber dieser Teil war in jedem Punkt ein Rückschritt. Irgendwie keine Motivation in nächster Zeit ein weiteres Asimov Buch zu lesen, zumindest keins seiner späten Veröffentlichungen.
Schade bloss dass ich die Bücher hier schon liegen habe.

Way more sexual than the other ones. Overall, way more unhinged. A great read!

The overall plotting and connections to the Foundation series really merit 5 stars, but the romantic storyline was really irritating, imo. This series is absolutely worth reading, though. Loved watching our curmudgeon protagonist kind of flail about until he realized that his attitudes about robots are repugnant (but so are most of the other characters'). Nice ending that seems to foreshadow a lot about the Foundation series. Very cool.

Si bien los dos primeros tercios de la novela me resultaron algo dificultosos de leer, en gran medida debido a la excesiva longitud de los diálogos, que no aportan ningún avance a la trama, el último tramo del libro hace que merezca la pena su lectura, y en especial el último capítulo y la última conversación.

La lectura de esta novela me ha hecho replantearme el hábito de abandonar los libros que me cuestan leer a medias.

Will I ever guess the ending correctly? The world may never know. I'm here for the world building anyway.
