Book Reviews of Foundation and Earth
Book Review: worthy sequel to the original trilogy
Summary: 5 Stars
it has been more than 10 years since i read this book and foundation's edge. as far as i can remember when i read this book, i immediately noticed that these books were written by a much mature hand than the ones which wrote the first three - asimov apparently wrote these two almost 20 years later. and afaicr i enjoyed these two more than its predecessors - i still remember the character gendiball. the comparison between hobbit and the lord of the rings with the original foundation trilogy and these two books would not be totally unjustified. these are much more complete and professionally written novels than the original foundation trilogy.
btw one reviewer has compared gaia with the communist utopia. but such a comparison is totally off mark. gaia is the greek philosopher plato's spiritual vision of the universe. it is that which asimov clearly referred to.
great reads - this and "foundation's edge".
