Rating: Summary: Stupendous imagination of a mere human Review: The Foundation series are the best Sci-fi novels I've read or ever will read again. I enjoyed it so much that I read it several times...I salute Asimov for his fantastic imagination
Rating: Summary: Foundation's Glory Review: The Foundation series is the best sci-fi series of all time, and the progression through the plot of the Seldon Plan is amazingly complex yet simple. Second Foundation is an amazing book that leaves you guessing what will happen next, and often things you never expected but look back and ask why you didn't see it. It is an excellent book with an ending that will shock and surprise you much like Ebling Mis.
Rating: Summary: Foundation series remains strong Review: The great thing about this is that Asimov makes you think that it's all over when it's really not. I don't want to spoil the book, so I'll say no more. And there a Mule-like surprise when the location of he Second Foundation is revealed.
Rating: Summary: Found Second Review: The last book in this trilogy sees the serch for that elusive Second Foundation Hari Seldon set up before his death.The rouge superbrained leader The Mule sets off on a journey to find it as well as a cunning and cleaver 14 year old girl Arkadia Darell. A battle of minds takes place and eventually humanity wins out. The victory comes as quite a shock for those who will read it and Hari Seldon's unpredicted crisis is over and the Second Foundation is saved right where he left it, in the Universty campus on the now rusted and tatty world of Trantor.
Rating: Summary: Couldn't believe a third awsome book Review: The last book of the Foundation trilogy, Second foundation brings the mentalists into evidence. The plots of the first speaker to keep nursing the first foundation but allways trying to stay hidden. I found myself sheering for the mentalists. Take your side and read it !
Rating: Summary: A brilliant ending that shows the true force of human will Review: The second foundation is composed of advanced psychic psychologist/mathemeticians. The first foundation is composed of advanced physical scientists. Which one will triumph? The Mule, in the previous book, threw every plan off, and forced the second foundation to reveal itself. Now the first foundation wants to be the only one. Will technology be enough to overcome the power of the mind? Again, this is two stories, a pattern Asimov used in this series, but these are more closely tied together, being separated by a generation as both generations face the same foe in one way or another. This novel is the inspiring finish, that completely fails to answer that, of the foundation series, a series that was started when a mathemetician started an effort to save the galaxy. It is a struggle of an underdog, in this book as well, and the struggle of the mind to achieve.
Rating: Summary: Best of the Series!!! Review: The third book in the series, Second Foundation is an excellent book. Written in an odd style, mixing history books with storytelling, this is probably my favorite book of the series. After struggling with the style of writing in Foundation, and anxiously reading though the Foundation and Empire, I finally found my pace in this book. By the end of the book, I was holed up in the bathroom with shaking hands, trying to escape from society long enough to FINISH THIS DARN BOOK!! The ending is spectacular, letting you toss and turn your way though the book just waiting to know what happens. Though not expected, the book finishes in perfect key with the rest of the story, and makes you ask yourself why you couldn't see what was right in front of you all the time. Overall, an exellent story!! -LJ
Rating: Summary: Great- Read it Review: The trilogy was voted the BEST ALL-TIME SERIES. It is full of plot twists.
Rating: Summary: read this. Review: third book is just as great
Rating: Summary: A must-read for anyone who appreciates good writing. Review: This book is the last in the classic Foundation Trilogy and is a perfect example of a truly captivating story. The series builds up exponentially into this finale and the plot moves faster and faster, not dropping off until the very last sentence and being easily the greatest conclusion to a story I have ever read, leaving me laughing maniacally and wondering how such a profound literary mind could possibly exist. The sheer grandness of it all is simply superhuman, and the best part is the way you would never suspect it before the point, but once you get there, everything falls into place perfectly and you know that no matter how much you had to struggle through the first two books, it was worth the ride. And such a ride it was.
