Foundation (Apple Series Tie-in Edition) Audiobook

" I consider this story as one the best SF ever and the narration does it justice "

" I am on a bit of a science fiction binge. I read recently that the Foundation Trilogy was rated the best sic fi/fantasy series ever so I determined to read it. This was read by Scott Brick who is an excellent narrator and brought this first book of the Trilogy alive. I will now listen to the next two. The real life analogies portrayed in this book were terrific and really made me think that some of the world's problems over time may have been able to be solved without the horrific wars humans have perpetrated upon one another. If only we could bring science fiction to life. "

" read and re read the original edition more than ones and doubtless i will again :) "

" This is a test review to see if testing works! "

" Asimov's Foundation is a brilliant classic that was the basis for modern day science fiction stories. Masterfully blending political intrigue, religious dogma, and human drama with a futuristic background, Asimov creates not only distant worlds, but entire civilizations that rise and fall in stories that spans generations. With this book it's easy to see how he influenced other sci-fi giants in literature and film decades later. "

" Amazing book. It's more of a political thriller than a sci-fi. Great story. "

" Hegelian Sci-Fi? Oh yes! "

" I was surprised that the collection of short stories was nicely tied together. "

" While there are a few things that now seem dated, Asimov's classic really holds up. This is a must read for all die-hard space opera fans. Asimov's wit and scientific mind show through. You have to turn the page to find out what happens next. "

" Fuck yeah. "

" I really found this difficult to get into. There were just too many jumps to allow for character progression. "

" Asimov is a master. Foundation goes beyond epic. Again his insight and complex theological ideas create the ultimate journey. "

" In the same setting of futuristic space as Ender's Game, but much more elegant. In comparison, Ender's Game is like the trashy page-turner cousin to the Foundation. At 100 something pages, it's a quick, tight, and fun read. "

" There are no words for excellence. Asimov was a genius. "

" good start to a great series "

" Pretty boring read for me "

" Never read any Asimov before, but I understand why so many people talk of his work, specifically Foundation and the series. Must read for any SciFi fan. "

" OMG This book was so awesomely awesome. I've had this trilogy on my shelf for 20 years, and I finally read the ebook version yesterday, and found so many iconic story elements that appeared in science fiction since.. Now I'm hooked, gotta read every book in this series! "

" You can fit this onto modern day Pakistan anytime! "

" I couldn't make it to the end of the book, and I HATE not finishing things. But nothing seemed to happen,it was way too slow for me, so Too Many Books, Too Little Time, I quit half way through. "

" Really enjoyed it. Pretty dated in parts, but still great. It's easy to see the influence of the Foundation on modern sci fi. "

" Was not sure what to expect. Really enjoyed this. "

" A part of the stories was a bit muddled, overall though great saga so far. Especially at the end I couldn't wait to begin the second book of the trilogy... "

" Good classic science fiction. Interesting take on the concepts of destiny and predicting human behavior. Characters are a little wooden at times, but it's more about the story than the characters. "

" The Foundation Trilogy was a masterstroke of political science fiction. When I read it, I was reminded of real historical versions of the rise and fall of empire. Asimov's intelligent and inciteful commentary on the rise and fall of society is as good as any research article on the subject. "

" My favorite science fiction book(s) of all time. I am fortunate to have a Asimov signed Easton Press edition. A great tale. "

" I was thinking about this trilogy...I read it in the late 80s, early 90's and could not put it down. I am not a huge science fiction buff but appreciate it when it is GOOD. This would be worth a re-read to see if I still love it as much as I remember. "

" Brilliant!! I didn't want it to end. This Trilogy is truly timeless! "

" One of the few books that I would rate so high. Asimov's writing style is both easy to read and engaging without being mindless. I recommend this trilogy to any sci-fi fan. "

" Great trilogy, one of the most well thought out plots. The book continuously surprises you. "

" Always a favorite, even if dated. "

" Sicuramente un capolavoro del genere, ma non è riuscito a coinvolgermi. Il romanzo è freddo e i personaggi, ad eccezione del Mule, non hanno profondità, sembrano burattini nelle mani dell'autore. "
