The Complete Robot

Starting in 1939 with the story "Robbie" and going through the 50's and beyond this volume is robots and more robots.
Most have the 40's-50's feel and sound. Takes a bit to get used to but that caused me many smiles. There was a group of stories featuring two robot testers Powell and Donovan. I pictured them as a mid century comedy duo. Good times. Next was 10 stories featuring Susan Calvin The Robot Psyco whatever for US Robots. And of course the only woman is a sea of men. So I pictured my Mother as her. Which doesn't help anyone reading this but now it's official. These were the real highlight stories for me, the favorite being Feminine Intuition. Anyway 5 Stars for sure.

I've read a lot of Asimov, and I must have first come across this marvelous collection back in the mid-to-late nineties. I enjoyed almost every story present, although the first section didn't appeal to me as much, and A Boy's Best Friend in particular was not very well developed (Robbie was much better).

I think my favourite story of the book has to be Victory Unintentional, although Powell and Donovan and Calvin are huge and I also really enjoyed Reason, Galley Slave and Feminine Intuition. A highly recommended collection indeed.
