5.0 out of 5 stars One of the greatest Si Fi writer April 5 2013
By Crocodile
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Got this book for my son so he will enjoy the taste of the real Si Fi (unlike all the Harry Potter mash-mellows). Nice story. Isaac Asimov one of my favorite authors.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprising in a good way! May 11 2009
By Nicolas Mantha Duffy
Format:Mass Market Paperback
My expectations of this book :
Considering that it has been written in the early 1950's, lots of science fiction (flying cars and robots) with an "OK" story.

What this book really is:
Plausible science fiction (a lot of amazing ideas) and an incredible private eye novel with unexpected twists and lots of suspense at the end.

I loved it! (In my top 3)

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic July 2 2004
By Stewart Teaze
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is a real breakthru work. Written in the mid-fifties, it still stands up well. Very interesting main characters - Elijah and Daneel... it is a quick and fun read... of the hundreds of SciFi books I've read, I'd have to say that this is my favorite. The followup book The Naked Sun, is also top-notch work.
