The style is very readable, and the content is interesting. The plot seems more nuanced than some o f the others in the series, and the characters aren't as one dimensional either. This isn't the best book I have ever read, but it was surprisingly solid, especially given some of the poor ground work it h ad to deal with. <br/><br/><i>Tags for this post: book(<a href="http://www.stillhq.com/book"><img src="http://www.stillhq.com/tagicon.cgi?post=/book/Jerry_Oltion/Isaac_Asimovs_Robot_City_Robots_and_Aliens_Alliance&tag=book&format=.png" border="0" alt="S"></a>) Jerry_Oltion(<a href="http://www.stillhq.com/Jerry_Oltion"><img src="http://www.stillhq.com/tagicon.cgi?post=/book/Jerry_Oltion/Isaac_Asimovs_Robot_City_Robots_and_Aliens_Alliance&tag=Jerry_Oltion&format=.png" border="0" alt="S"></a>) </i></td></tr></table> <a href="http://www.stillhq.com/book/Jerry_Oltion/Isaac_Asimovs_Robot_City_Robots_and_Aliens_Alliance.commentform.html">Comment</a> http://www.stillhq.com/book/Jerry_Oltion/Isaac_Asimovs_Robot_City_Robots_and_Aliens_Alliance.html http://www.stillhq.com/book/Jerry_Oltion/Isaac_Asimovs_Robot_City_Robots_and_Aliens_Alliance.html
