Overall entertaining, but with too much dependence on accurate control of a whole population by those with seemingly little control over them...
Just finished the trilogy (Don't worry, I don't post spoilers) but how they're being controlled/manipulated to fulfill the plan is adequately explained in book three (IMO). I enjoyed the books but saw the 'revelation' at the end coming a mile off.
Yeah you will. I still loved those books, foundations edge is good to.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
