Disadvantages: A little slow for the impatient. ...a lot of detail from the book, this to me says a lot about the quality of the writing to have remembered it over such a long time.

Basically a humaniform robot has ceased from functioning, this is virtually impossible to happen by itself and the creator of this robot (Dr Fastolfe) claims that he is the only person that could have done it, but, that ... ...Elijah Bailey is invited to the planet Aurora (Dawn) to investigate the case. The depth of character, the strong intriging plot, political implications, robotic interaction and functioning, the twists and turns of the story and an ending which just blew me away. I will admit that I didn't have a clue who did it right up to the end. Though my wife figured out out about a 3rd of the way through. But she reads a lot of murder mysteries and I read a ... rjb2112 16.11.2004 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of The Robots Of Dawn - Isaac Asimov	Would you read it again?
