F is for Foundation

Spoiler Alert!

I finished Foundation and Empire last night. The last chapter has this big reveal that the clown Magnifico is actually the mutant general The Mule. The problem is, that from the moment they introduced Magnifico, I knew he was The Mule. I just thought about Magnifico for a second, and how all the other characters kept hyping The Mule, and I said to myself, "It's Kaiser Soze!" So when the characters finally figure it out, I'm like, "DUH!"

This happens after the whole bit about Riose. I actually liked Riose, and having his campaign ended completely off-stage was such a let down.

So, I'm taking a break from Asimov and reading Good Omens. I'm like 20 pages in and it's already more entertaining than all of Foundation so far.
