5.0 out of 5 stars
A good conclusion to the Foundation series.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Foundation and Earth: (#5) (Mass Market Paperback)
First off I must say that I am a BIG Asimov fan. I have read (and own) all the Robot, Empire and Foundation novels, as well as The End of Eternity, Nemesis, The Positronic Man, and The Gods Themselves, and most of the short robot stories. I have found all of them interesting at the very least. Please note that I read Foundation and Earth BEFORE Forward the Foundation was written, so my opinion may be slightly different than those who read it after. Foundation and Earth was the last book of the Foundation Series, but did more than finish that line. It tied up many loose ends from the Robot and Empire series as well, and unified these three into a single (if somewhat loosely knit) timeline. Some parts were slow moving, like the main plot, while others were not even really understood until the last few chapters. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, but I suspect I would have done so even more if I had read Forward the Foundation first. Depending on how you interpret the ending, it is either finite of open to change, something I like. I recommend this book to any fans of the Foundation, Robot, or (to a lesser degree) Empire series. One small suggestion, I recommend reading the series in the order of the future timeline, not by the dates which the books were written. All in all I feel this book is a good conclusion to the series.

I agree - an ending that leaves something left,

This review is from: Foundation & Earth (Hardcover)
I picked it up to finish the Foundation series; a good ending, I will maintain. It wraps up the idea behind the foundation and settles it to face squarely with WHY things need to be held together, and the justification for arranging things. It does change the tone of the series and is very long-winded and suddenly ended (kinda like...ok...ok...ok...huh?), but it does finally add some closure to the series and a feeling of completion - a reason behind why he even started the Foundation's Edge. For those looking for a thoughtful read and are a fan of the Foundation novels, I recommend; if your looking for more of a fun read, pass this book by.
