The Robots of Dawn

Amazing! The ending that Giskard was actually the most important character and that he could read minds was such a crazy twist and actually makes sense to everything that was said in the book.

It's also really interesting how it's always the smallest stuff that is said in passing that reveals the truth, not the big phrases.

I felt that it was too neat in a way. It probably could've been 200 pages longer to really get into the meat of the case but I suppose the gambling nature of Baley in this book fit with the Chairman scene.

That last scene with Baley and Giskard is so good. It was also so interesting to see Giskard talk not as a robot but as a being beyond servitude. He was talking for far longer and showed so much intelligence. It's familiar to the end of Caves of Steel where Daneel quoted the Bible.

I think this book made the Naked Sun a lot better with the further development of the relationship between Baley and Gladia. I wonder if Baley will ever tell Jessie what happened between them.

Anyways I really enjoyed it.
