- MichaelMoser123 10y agoI was learning English with this series, and as a kid and I really appreciated the simple and clear language of Asimov.
- sevensor 10y agoBy the standards of the pulpy SF magazines Foundation was published in, Asimov was a pretty brilliant prose stylist. He's a little clunky by literary standards, but that's a pretty high bar. The man could tell a story, though. And he had more ideas than ten other SF authors put together.
