review 1: This prequel to Asimov’s Robot stories has Susan Calvin working her first year of residency at Manhattan Hasbro Hospital. She is a psychiatrist who starts her rotation in the Pediatric Intensive Psychiatric Unit or is it Psychiatric Intensive Pediatric Unit—where she “cures” 2 of her patients in the first hundred pages by diagnosing medical conditions that were missed my early residents and staff. Susan falls in love, gets involved in a nanobot research project and discovers hell in the person of a 4 year old sociopath. It’s a little too breezy and not totally believable but it does give an interesting background to the Susan Calvin that we’ll meet later in the stories by Dr. Asimov.
review 2: Cannot recommend this enough for any fan of Asimov. Y... moreou can really see how the younger Susan Calvin grows into the older version featured in so many of Asimov's stories. Reads as more of a medical procedural/thriller but truly ends as a action packed adventure. Only thing not to like is having to wait for the next one, oh and that it's a trilogy and will come to an end. This would have been a much better I, Robot movie than what they did. If the movie is your only exposure, do yourself a favor and read the original Asimov stories and then this one. less
