Literary review of Asimov's works. Vacillated between a 4 and 5 star rating - I wanted just a little more content because it was so good.
This was a 'quick' overview of his significant works. The comments were insightful and highlighted the major themes, premises, flaws and significance of his works and his writing, which he called "social science fiction". There is enough plot detail so that you understand the points that are being made.
I've only read one of his books, so this book was a good guide to help me determine what other ones to read, and to have a thoughtful background when doing so. Highly recommended.
