Really 3.5 stars, and my least favorite of Asimov's Robot books. The story heavily features characters talking (and talking...) about sex in the most detached and clinical terms possible.

I think Asimov did a great job of bringing together his Robot mysteries with his psychohistory and Foundation novels. Not least because thirty years after beginning Foundation, he's a much stronger novel writer, with more action, richer characters, and less exposition.
