I've always felt that Isaac Asimov writes brilliant science fiction with boring characters. I love a good time travel story, mostly to see what this author's take on the usual time travel paradoxes will be. Anyone who writes about agents changing history has to explain how they deal with things like the Grandfather Paradox, meeting earlier or later versions of yourself, and so on. There are a handful of well-known ways to deal with these issues (alternate timelines, a deterministic universe, spe..more

If you haven't read Asimov's SF classic, it's one of those time-travel stories where you can change the past. The people with the time machines are a shadowy, infinitely powerful organisation called the Eternals. They flit around in time, changing things 'for the good of humanity'. Except that, as I'm sure you already guessed, it isn't quite clear after a while that humanity is benefiting from all this attention. The agents who are responsible for making the changes are called Technicians, and t..more

This is a unique one for Asimov, and not connected to his usual fictional universe. Ironically, this is his first book I tried to read, in Malayalam translation, no less! But either the translation was bad, or the story was untranslatable, or I was too young for it.. I dropped it after a few pages. I am glad I did, because I could read the original afresh.

This is somehow my first Asimov book. At first, I was underwhelmed. However, as the book went forward, I found that there was much more depth to the writing than originally met the eye and that the shallow characters were shallow with a purpose.

Asimov is doing a couple of things here that raise a dull story to interesting, but you won't be able to catch it until the final two chapters. Dare I say this is a feminist critique of society?.. I mean, as critical as a '50s dude from sexist academia could deliver? And delivered in quite possibly the most offensive way possible, at least to modern sensibilities? It partly serves as a polemic against critics of the space program (I smell a colleague confrontation brewing, Asi), partly an effor..more

Even though I tend to pick them apart, I love stories dealing with time-travel. Most end up creating what should be a paradox or forget little things that I tend to pick up on. Not this one. Asimov did a spectacular job. I thought I had him a couple of times but he covered everything.

I am a huge fan of time travel, particularly when it's done well. And, should I expect anything less in the hands of Asimov?

I'm a SF buff, a big Asimov fan, and I'd rate this book among his very best. Having read through most of Asimov's Robot and Foundation series, what drew me to read The End of Eternity was the often mentioned fact that this book describes why Asimov's fictional universe panned out the way it did. And I wasn't disappointed. What a story!

Less than 200 pages. The same material nowadays would be expanded to at least 600 pages or probably a trilogy.
Well cool ideas:

Officially my favourite book read in 2016!
I recently watched a TV series called Steins;gate. It started out as a lighthearted comedy, where a self-proclaimed mad scientist creates a time machine that allows him to send text messages into the past, by making the plate in his microwave turn backwards. It was really funny and entertaining, and then it went really, really dark as all of the consequences to changes in the past that they made with the machine started hitting, and they spent the rest of the series trying to undo or otherwise f..more

Lately, I’ve been a bit nostalgic for classic sci-fi and I’ve been reading some Heinlein and Asimov. I somehow missed this book when I tore through all the Asimov novels way back in my youth. I enjoyed this book, but it does have a significant flaw. The basic premise is mankind’s establishment of Eternity in the 27th century that allowed trade of goods from one century to another. However, those that controlled Eternity also controlled human history.

This is my all time favorite Sci-Fi love story. Asimov has projected Miss Lambent in such a beautiful way that you will fall in love with her too. A must read for a true romantic.
I love going back to the classics. It’s fun to see what inspired modern-day novelists and screenwriters when they were kids. The End of Eternity, by Isaac Asimov, surely inspired cool stories like The Adjustment Bureau, Fringe, 12 Monkeys, Looper, and Primer.

In a way, it's unfortunate that so much of Asimov's fiction falls into his massive future history of Foundations and robots and galactic empires. And then, in the 80's, Asimov littered his canon with so many subpar prequels and refits and bridges that the few singletons he had were even further buried beneath the onslaught. And that's too bad, because The End of Eternity is the best novel Asimov ever wrote.

i've always liked time travel stories and was looking forward for this one coming from DA master. and although i liked the story well enough i think that it becomes convoluted toward the end when it deals with the scientific aspect of his logic in the tale and, hence, looses momentum. in spite of that, the overall premise is really interesting and it deals more with destiny/free will than time travel which is a nice mix always. it amazes me still how many different stories can be created around..more
ENGLISH: This book is quite similar to 'Guardians of time' by Poul Anderson, but in a certain sense it is also its opposite. In both cases, time travel is supposed to be possible and the present can be changed by manipulating the past. But in Anderson's series of stories, our far descendants stage the time guardians to prevent those changes in the past that would affect their own existence. What happens in Asimov's novel is quite the opposite. This is understandable, for the end of the novel mak..more

Andrew Harlan bothered me with the way he jumped to conclusions and then proceeded to interpret everything based upon those unjustified conclusions. However, I loved the premise and Asimov gives the reader some unexpected twists in the final quarter of the book.

This is one of my favorite novels by Isaac Asimov, and I think underrated among his works, perhaps because it's a one-off, not something that ties into his Foundation or Robot series. I remember the outline of the story even decades after my first read, which is a sign of its ability to have an impact. What particularly stands out is the world-building. This is as intriguing, imaginative and well-thought out a world than any you can find in Asimov. Eternity is an organization that holds itself o..more
