>>12877594
Shallow and half-flat characters that get dumped for an entire new cast every hundred pages. The overarching plot is alright, but it never really grabbed my attention, especially since the whole guiding idea behind it is that everything i predetermined, and thus any tension is null and void by default.

>>	Anonymous Thu Apr 4 11:12:19 2019 No.12879447 >>12877594 Only the fist trilogy is good, and the fist book is the best. But Asimov is a hack if you have read actually good books, if not read him now because at some point he becomes unreadable.

>>	Anonymous Thu Apr 4 11:13:19 2019 No.12879452 >>12876998 His prose and characters are terrible, so no. He does not have a poetic bone in him.
