But I think it works tolerably in own right. I will also say that it grew on me as I read it, and I rated it much higher at the end than I would have had a stopped reading before I got there. I think Asimov really excels at the short story, and I think that that style and punch sometimes shows through into his longer works. There are a few slight things that would make me hesitate to recommend this book to a young reader. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/573466?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
