This must be the most disappointing book by Asimov I've ever read. As imaginative and brilliant as he might have been, Asimov just wasn't that great at writing romance. But I think I'll forgive him, since I read that even he didn't like the book very much.

A fast, easy read. The protagonist I hated, but the rest of the characters were good. The protagonist was too whiney and childish for my tastes. It was an enjoyable audiobook and Asimov remains one of my favorite authors.

Another solid, albeit formulaic, entry from Asimov. The ending is actually a bit more "climactic" than some of his others, so that was a nice surprise.
