Profanity Violence Sexual Content
Although there is nothing explicit, human sexuality is repeatedly discussed in the context of the futuristic culture
Characterization Plot Overall Rating
This is one of my favorite Asimov novels. It is a classic Asimov Mystery with plenty of misdirection. But the final reveal is truly mind-boggling as he ties in the story lines of not just one, but several of his classic sci-fi series.
