I fin­ished read­ing I, Robot and while I enjoyed some of the sto­ries; as a whole the book just didn’t work for me as well as some of Asimov’s other has. He tried hang­ing the sto­ries together as though it was Dr. Calvin telling them to a jour­nal­ist but the sto­ries weren’t actu­ally told from her point of view. Ah well, it was an okay read; so over­all I give it 2 out of 5 points. Then I bor­rowed a copy of For­ever Free from “my friend Fritz” and read through that. It’s a sequel to For­ever Peace (which is itself a sequel to For­ever War) and it was inter­est­ing to see where Halde­man went with the char­ac­ters, but I wish I’d read For­ever Peace first and that “Fritz’s” copy of For­ever Free was in bet­ter shape. I’ll have to check the local library and see if they have both books so I can try again. Over­all, For­ever Free was worth 2.75 out of 5 points; it was an inter­est­ing read but I couldn’t really get into the char­ac­ters’ heads and noth­ing in it really clicked with me.

Cur­rently, I’ve just started read­ing Last Chance to See by Mark Car­war­dine and Dou­glas Adams and I’ll let you know how I liked it later, but now it’s lunch time and I’m outta here! :D
