review 1: I thought both of these stories were excellent. Good mystery involved to keep you guessing, as well as a great sci-fi story. The most important thing I got out of this book, is that it stresses the complications than can arise in the near future, as robots become more advanced today and take on greater roles within our society. They are great innovations, and can definitely help us, but it's good not to become complacent with our own roles we have in this universe. It also goes to show that advancing our space programs and venturing out into the unknown is a great thing that the human race can and should achieve. Asimov is an amazing writer, and I'm glad to have read this book.
review 2: I really enjoyed these stories. My mother loaned me her copy ( it actual
... morely had that weird groovy robot picture on the cover) and it sat on my shelf for 10-15 years (sorry mom!)It has a 40's or 50's detective novel style to it, but it's set 1000 years in the future - A murder mystery with robots and men, Earth and outer space. The unifying theme is irrational fear and prejudice. This was my first Issac Asimov novel and it won't be my last. less

Good detective/mystery themes with robots, and a tad about colonization as well as redeeming evil.

sexism is so tedious when i dont want to think about it. the mystery is worthwhile.

Two classic mystery robot stories written in the 50's. Entertaining early Asimov.
