My thoughts on the third book in The Foundation Trilogy, Second Foundation, are pretty much the same as the previous book - I enjoyed the book and still found the whole idea of psychohistory fascinating but it didn't quite blow me away for a book so highly ranked and considered one of the best of all time. This volume deals with two different attempts to discover the location and secret of the "second foundation" founded hundreds of years ago by Hari Seldon. In the first half The Mule from the previous book continues his search for the second foundation so that he can conquer it and be the ruler of everything. The second half deals with the search by the first foundation some time after the reign of The Mule ends.
The weird names Asimov uses still annoys me, and keeping track of the characters takes some work.
This one also gets a B+.
