Reviews of Forward the Foundation

58%

...an annoying Book, with no real plot tensions. -- JDO (written 28/8/94 for Vector)

A perfect close to a magnificent career. -- Alfvaen, The Den of Ubiquity

I would have to rate this as one of the better Books in the Foundation Series, largely because of the insights it gives into Asimov himself and his life. -- John H. Jenkins, Jenkins... Spoiler-Laden Guide to Isaac Asimov

The added dimension, however, of the Book's place in Asimov's life and career, and the subtlety with which Asimov uses Seldon to comment on life, mortality and fame, make this Book much more rewarding than just another yarn from a master storyteller. -- J. Stephen Bolhafner, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

This Book is easily as enjoyable as the other Foundation Books -- Jeremy D. Frens

It enters a depth of intellect unseen in the previous Foundation novels. -- Chris Brightbill, Chris' Book Reviews
