Well I'll give an opinion but I don't think I can do a fair review as like I mentioned in the past the Foundation is literally the only thing Asimov wrote that I couldn't slog through. Maybe its because I was to young and I would get pulled in now but all I remember about it is it went into such long drawn out detail about the specifics of cataloging and fundamentally boring bureaucratic methods that It just couldn't keep my attention.
I'd think that you guys that actually have read the book would have more representative opinions on the subject than I would.
This is actually the reason I'm thrilled to see it as a show as now I can get the story line without having to wade through a 3 inch thick technical manual.
