Unnecessarily long. 3.75

3,5

ufa, esse foi grande.

Achei o final pouco satisfatório. Não é uma resolução tão crível quanto as demais, o final final tem poucas consequências pra história. Além do que, tem 550 páginas né pqp

I'm enjoying this series so much!!!

"The Robots of Dawn" is the third book in the Robot series (the R. Daneel Olivaw series). It follows the case of a detective from Earth that is being sent to Aurora to solve a case of roboticide, but the book is more than that. It talks about progress, human psychology and feelings, as well as society as a whole, life in different environments, it explores what it means to be a robot, what makes a human human, and the future of humanity, as it would be in that masterfully crafted universe of Asimov's.

I rate it 5/5 and if I could give it more than that, I would, but then again, that would apply to all of Asimov's books I read so far. So I might be biased, but that's because I haven't been let down once (yet) by what I read of his. I just love his robots and his universe.

The characters are lovable and believable, the relationships between them are sometimes heartwarming, sometimes weird, but always purposeful.

Nothing is there just to fill up space and everything contributes to the plot, to the atmosphere or to the psychology of a character or another. Elijah is lovable, admirable, but also a human being, with weaknesses and quirks. His relationship with Daneel, the robot, is adorable. In this book, like in the rest of them, the interactions between robots and people are fascinating, especially when there is a bond, be it friendship or something else.

The most important and unique parts of Asimov's books, for me, are the ideas and the robots. I just have a weakness for Asimov's robots and I can't have enough! Especially when they don't behave like they're supposed to, or when they try solving problems and contradictions related to the Three Laws.

The references that appear here and there that tie together all of the books are so much fun, so I'm glad I read "I, Robot" and "The Rest of the Robots" before these (like 5-6 years ago, without the intention of following the cronological order, which I didn't know about).

The philosophical thoughts weren't too much, as some reviews claim: I don't think they were unbearable, as they were placed with purpose and they contributed to the book. After all, you can't think about the meaning of being a human or a robot and about the faith of humanity without getting into philosophy just a little bit.

I wasn't bored a bit throughout the book, fascinated by Asimov's writing and by everything that happened.

The ending was so interesting and it didn't disappoint me. I like book endings because they usually dictate what I think about the book, and this one exceeded my expectations. I wanted to hug the book after I finished it.

Lastly, I find that "The Robots of Dawn", as all other of his creations I've read so far, is hard to fault, and has everything I look for in books. Asimov is the greatest of 'em all, which I already knew from his short stories and some novels I read, and of which I got reminded by reading this series.

It now starts to knit together the robot series with the foundation series and we see how the universe will come to be the way it is during the foundation era.

El mejor de la saga hasta ahora. La construcción del misterio es simple pero se llena de muchos elementos a su alrededor. La narración de Asimov sigue siendo muy atractiva por sí sola, pero al agregarle tanta vida a sus personajes convierte a la obra en una joya.
