Title: A Great Quick Read
Review: A couple of admissions first - This is my first review. This was the first Asimov book I've read. I enjoy older (50's/60's) science fiction - no profanity, good character development, fairly predictable, but with interesting ideas and ways of looking at human life.That said, I picked up The Naked Sun at a used bookstore not knowing that it was part of a series. I read a couple reviews that complained that the first 50 pages were used to get the new reader up to speed and decided I'd take the risk and read it anyway. I am so glad that I did. I couldn't put it down and finished it in less than a day and a half of intermittent reading. It's basically a classic 1950s style crime novel. Yes, it was a little predictable, but so what. I really enjoyed the interplay of the characters and way Asimov made the idiosyncrasies of the Solarians equal those of the earthmen.Not groundbreaking, but a fantastic quick read. I highly recommend it.
