unionmack 's review for:

The Stars, Like Dust by Isaac Asimov
2.0

This is the first Asimov one I've read this year that just... kinda sucked. The story's all over the place, the characters feel about as dimensional as a piece of cheese, and it's just so meandering along the way. Not to mention, the twist at the end of this was so incredibly hokey—I was happy to find out that Asimov himself regretted putting it in at the request of his editor at the time. I think I just got accustomed to the fast-paced, fun, and multifaceted aspects of the Robot novels. I'll keep going with the Empire books after this because I want to make it through all the Foundation books too by the end of the year, but fingers crossed the other two in this trilogy are a little more enjoyable.
