Book Review: Prelude to Foundation

To all fans of Asimov. This is another great book. Simply said, it has such an epic plot that it JUST has to be good. How can you resist the bait of a plot involving a simple mathematician with a theory to predict the future. The possibilities are endless. The people that crave his knowledge are innumerable. 

When you look at the book. It looks just like the others. But the content in it is very different. When you first read the book. You can already feel Asimov's world enshrouding you. Like a cloud of wonder, it grasps you. Even though you can always just blow the cloud away (by putting down the book and stop reading), you won't want to. It is just so captivating that you can't stop reading. This book, has single-handedly rekindled my love for literature, dormant under the winter of a "MASSIVE"workload.  Now, i swore to return to the library to borrow the rest of the series. 

**SPOILER**

Hari Seldon, a not-so-famous mathematician who shows up in a decennial convention on the capital of the Galactic Empire, Trantor to present his theory on psychohistory( a mathematical way to predict the future). After his theory is made famous, so is he. The Empire wants his predictive powers, Hummin a reporter and the Mayor of Wye, a rival of the emperor. These cause a chain of events so abstract and interesting that you just have to read on.

**SPOILER OVER**

This book is fantastic. Even though it isn't really the newest book in the market, it still upholds Asimov's reputation as being one of the most impressive writers of the 21st century. I just love it. I know, this review seems very one-sided  and in praise of the story. But don't worry, i have not been bribed by Asimov. IT IS JUST THAT GOOD. 

All i can say now is, grab it from the library. Read it over a day or two, and start borrowing the rest of the series. BUT!!! Leave at least one book for me.
