The book, as I noted before, is radically different from the movie; it's a collection of related short stories rather than a full-fledged novel, and has only a few characters, a couple of scenes, and the Three Laws of Robotics in common with the movie. It's an excellent (and reasonably quick) read, probably my favorite of Isaac Asimov's books, just don't expect it to be like the movie.(I like the movie too, in a smarter-than-usual summer-blockbuster way, though I do prefer the book.)
