This book was very interesting, and had some very novel concepts for a 70 year old sci fi novel. I enjoyed reading about the progression of the Foundation, and how the individual Seldon Crises were navigated. I also found the inter-planetary politics very interesting, but the layout of the book, with the large time skips between parts meant that I had to learn a whole new set of characters and protagonist every hundred pages or so, because of this I did feel quite disconnected from characters.

Although a warning - this book has about 20 male characters and 1 female character, who is only mentioned twice, as an annoying wife.
