juliendonkey 's review for:

Foundation and Empire by Isaac Asimov
2.0

Book two is not as good as book one imo, I will probably still read the third. The twists and turns feel lazy, and the characters are generally less interesting and full then most of those from book one. It all gets a little more interesting in the last 4th or 5th of the book. The basic concepts and thought-experiments are certainly intriguing and make it worth the read, but if it wasn't for that and the fact that it is so short and fast-paced I probably would have given up on it.
