Book Reviews of The Robots of Dawn

Book Review: I couldn't put this book down
Summary: 5 Stars

Robots of Dawn was the first fiction book that I ever read that I just had to finish. Before I read this great book I had read mostly non-fiction: History; economics; religion; political science; sociology; psychology. I had always considered fiction as non-reality, and it mattered not if I finished a fictional book. However, it all changed with this wonderful Science Fiction Mystery Novel.

The Robots of Dawn made me a devoted Asimov Fan. I read every work of fiction that I could find that had been written by Isaac Asimov, after completing this wonderful novel.

The Story shows an intuitive understanding of computers that few in the world could posses, and yet I understand that Isaac Asimov was not trained in the science of cybernetics. The man was pure visionary genius, to say the least.

Asimov was not all science. He was very human. And humanness came through in this book and all the fiction written by the Grand Master.

I can usually figure out who done it, in a mystery novel. They don't usually present a challenge to me. But in this one, I missed it. I had to know who had done the foul evil deed. Asimov hooked me from the start--the mark of a great mystery writer.

Though there were many more in this series, and Asimov was big on series, he could take an idea and run with it forever, no other Asimov book was the solid mystery that Robots of Dawn is. The story was masterfully written by one of the three writers who established modern science fiction. Asimov said in one of his autobiographies, he wrote three autobiographies and they are all very interesting, that Arthur C. Clarke, Robert Heinlein, and himself, were considered to have laid the foundation for modern science fiction. I would accept that as fact. All these writers were great scientists. A scientist who can write fiction seems to have a great intuition for what is possible in science. Asimov certainly was a visionary in the field of Science.

If you like Science fiction, you will love this great book. If you like mystery stories, and don't hate science fiction, you will adore this wonderful story written by one of the greatest science fiction writers of all time.
