3.0

This is the first book I've read by Asimov and I found it pretty mediocre.  Not much actually happens - it's almost exclusively conversations between characters interspersed between world-building descriptions. I found most of the characters to be fairly one-dimensional and not especially likeable. 

With all of that said, it's a fairly quick read and it seems like it could set some ground work for a more interesting story.  Asimov also has an interesting way of shifting perspectives between characters and does an okay job of expressing what personality they do have when the perspective is on them.
