In this novel, Hari Seldon’s life is chronicled; from his rise to First Minister to the Emperor, the development of psychohistory, the loss of all those close to him, all the way to the end of his declining years.
The first half of the book was terribly slow; I truly had to force myself not to skim for fear of missing something crucial. The second half picked up and continually accelerated until the very end. The novel’s pervasion by an undercurrent of mortality left me with a certain sense of sadness.
My rating: ★★★★☆ (4 out of 5 stars)
