Rating: Summary: Read It!!! Review: The "Foundation" is one of the best book I have ever read (and I've read a lot of science fiction books). The plot sparkle and shines throughout and the reader is never left alone and bored.
Rating: Summary: Best science fiction series to date! Review: The Foundation series is the most involving and gripping set of science fiction novels I have ever read. And each time I read them, I only enjoy them more and more. But what would really make my millenium (can't forget to interject a Y2K joke...) would be to see at least the first Foundation book made into a feature length movie or at least a direct-to-video production. So, if you're a film-maker that's reading this, why not consider it? You'd make a killing at the box office, that's for sure.
Rating: Summary: Excellent! Review: Totally gripping and involving. Very imaginative and successful fantasy/mystery.
Rating: Summary: WOW!! Brilliant Review: I am a teenager, but I read books that are for more advanced readers. Once I picked up Asimov's "Foundation", I could not put it down. To write a book of such imagination and complexity, and yet to capture the mind of the reader as it did mine, is and extraordinary feat. Asimov is a brilliant writer. I have now begun reding the fourth installement of the series, titled "Foundation's Edge". He has been able to keep the same level of intensity throughout the entire series, and is still able to keep the reader guessing. Asomov is truly a mastermind. Worthy of comparison with "Dune" and "Lord of the Rings".Surely, one, if not the greatest book of all time.
Rating: Summary: A must-read series of sci-fi books. Review: I think that the first three books of the Foundation series ("Foundation", "Foundation and Empire" and "Second Foundation") are excellent. The others maybe are of less quality but as a whole the series is a classic and a must-read group of books for everybody that likes science fiction.
Rating: Summary: Wow Review: Few doubt the power of these novels, and no one mildly competent in the realm of science fiction would at all. I don't remember ever being so sucked in by any book or set of books before. I think that Foundation and Empire was the best of the set, with "The Mule" being the best single story of the nine-story set. This is Asimov in his purest form-- no pomp, no ornation, no flowery aspiration to a false literary quality; just plain, simple prose and story: a mix that earned this set the honor of Best Science Fiction series, an honor I believe is well deserved.
Rating: Summary: The BEST sience fiction series ever written. Review: I don't ussually read sience fiction, but I came accross these three books in my father's drawer, and I'm really glad I did. Luckily, my father had bought the whole Foundation Trilogy years ago. I sat down and read all three books. I've read the whole series about 9 times! It's even more impresive every time. Isaac Asimov is without a doubt a genius. The way he combines the events in his novels, and the way he presents things is outstanding. If you haven't read this book, please do so. It is certainly worth it.
Rating: Summary: A great book Review: I have just finished reading the First of the Foundation Series and I truly believe that it is the Best Science Fiction that I have ever read.
Rating: Summary: The Best series of books ever written Review: I'm teeenage kid and before i read the foundation series i was reading Clarke's book (particarly the RAMA series, they are almost as good) The first foundation book i pick up was Foundation and Empire. I didn't even finish it. Then a month or two later at a libary i stumbled on the Foundation book. I started reading and all of sudden Foundation and Empire made sense. Along with Second FOundation these three books are the best ever written (i haven't read the other foundation books yet). As a result of these books i have decided to devote my life to math, or pyshcology, or history, ormabye even physcohistory!!
Rating: Summary: Excellent Review: This book is a classic. It is a great lesson in Philosphy and Wisdom
