cdcsmith 's review for:
The Foundation Trilogy
by Isaac Asimov
I know the trilogy goes on for 2 more books. I have them and will eventually read them, but probably not until late this year or early next year.
Last year I read the first book. This year my plan was to read the 2nd book. I couldn't get a copy of just that book. My library had this one, which ended up working out better I think. I got to re-read the first, read the 2nd, and "finish" up with the 3rd. I could stop where I am, except I own books 4 and 5 and they exist so I'm going to read them.
Now for the review. I struggled a bit with the 1st book because it took me a while to get the feel of the world. I think re-reading it was definitely helpful. After the 2nd book, it felt unfinished so I was very happy to continue on. It was the 3rd part/book that made me decide on 4 stars. It made sense to me. I could see it ending there even though we know "the plan" still had hundreds of years to go.
By the last stage, it was much easier for me to follow the way things were in the universe of these books. Less effort was needed for me to fall into the world and live along with the people there. I'm not sure my individual reviews would have been 4 stars, but as a trilogy, I feel it does.
