Like the other Foundation novels I have read this book (non GR or pre GR) many times since the wonderful fist reading in the 70s. Do I enjoy it every time ? Yes of course, otherwise I wouldn't re-read. Do I enjoy as much or more, hmm, difficult, in some ways no, its not new to me, but in some ways yes, because I get more every time, and I realise every time what an amazing author Asimov was.
So I have just finished it for 2017 as part of the Foundation (7 book version) series read for SF Aficionados and again I realise what an amazing book and series this is.
(One of my dreams is to read Asimov from Robot novels through the Empire novels and then into all of the Foundation novels - I've been told its over 30 novels, so I really look forward to that, maybe 2019, a special year)

I'm finding that I really dislike the Empire novels. While the general idea behind the plot is great, I really dislike the overly dramatic antics of the characters. It makes it hard for me to take the grand reveal at the end seriously.

Ms. Smartarse wrote "I'm finding that I really dislike the Empire novels. I must admit that it has been many years since I have read any of the Empire novels (probably 20+ ? ) so don't know how I would react to them. I'll have to see, when I do get around to them.
I loved this series, back in the 1960s.Thank you for the review!
