This is an all right book...

Limited action and characterization, but not too "techie" for sci-fi. No need to slog through paragraphs or pages of techinal description of theoretical science and technology.

As far as the plot... If one isn't already reading or planning to read the entire series, be aware that (despite claims to the contrary) it isn't really a book that "stands alone." Some back history of the series is given in Forward the Foundation, but without reading all of the books preceding this one, the reader will miss out on the true depth and flavor of the entire story of the Foundation. I'm including Asimov's robot novels in this necessary back story reading.
