I enjoyed FE a lot. I was amazed at Asimov's ability to write in the
same style he used 30 years ago.  One of the previous responses
complains that the book would have been ok in 1952. That's high
praise by the reasonable standard that a book in a series should
mesh in texture and style with the rest of the series. IF, on the
other hand, the book were a stand-alone, its feel would have been
anachronistic. I don't think I could honestly evaluate the book
in those terms; its context is too much a part of my SF frame.
