Foundation is probably Asimov's most notable work. I appreciated the entire series, but I couldn't get into the first book. It was good, but it missed a few elements the other books of the series had. I liked the idea. I liked how it gradually introduced the reader to the story. What I disliked about it were the long dialogues that never seemed to end. If I could rewrite it I would totally keep the story, but remove the unnecessary conversations. Overall, one of the best books from one of the best authors.
