This book was so boring and felt like a gigantic waste of time. The entire book is dry and drags on ENDLESSLY. All the plot twists can be seen a mile off because of the way it’s written. Women are treated disgustingly in the book. It seems to me Issac Asimov wanted to be a historian or a scientist but didn’t want to put in the research so he made up a bunch of stuff for a history book and called it science fiction.

I was starting to get frustrated with the story telling during the second book but the series of twists at the end of this wholly made me a fan.

This book wasn't bad, but I felt like it didn't live up to it's two predecessors. I may have just read this at a bad time, being sick and having a bit of brain fog, and it was a fair followup to the previous two books, it just didn't go as hard as the other two. In fairness, the bar was very high. This book was more driven as well by

individual character actions

, which I feel was a conceptual shift from the previous books. The plot twists were also quite predictable, which I tend to not mind, but again, just wasn't hitting as hard as the first two books. I also noticed a couple of typos. I also was struggling to understand the relationship between the first and second foundation.

Sicuramente più bello del secondo libro e bello diversamente rispetto al primo.
La prima parte è carina ma la seconda è la parte veramente bella e interessante.
