You either like the Foundation Trilogy or you dont

I for one have always like the Foundation Trilogy. I consider it simple and easy reading that does not require you to get a score card or journal in order to follow everything. For its' day it was a very cool idea.

Old but timeless story

Why didn't I read this before now? That's the question I keep asking myself. It's a relatively timeless story, narrated well. Like all good science fiction, regardless of the time or the space where the story unfolds, we recognize the characters as people like ourselves, some good. Some not. And, more than likely, almost all finding their way in different places on that spectrum.

A story for the ages

I first read this trilogy over 45 years ago. It captured my mind and has done so at least two other times beside this. I actually started reading science fiction books right after this trilogy. The Second Foundation is a great book of twists and turns that keeps you on your feet the whole time. In the great Harry Seldon tradition, it follows the two Foundations as they seek to influence each other in different ways. Read the books, you will love them!

Awesome story

I liked the ending very much. Awesome story. I typically listen to this while taking a poop and it gets me hooked for a while in the toilet. Really interesting story so far. Looking forward to listening to the next book.

Superb conclusion to the best SF trilogy

Reading like a detective novel, Second Foundation is a brilliant conclusion to the best Science Fiction series ever written.
