4.0 out of 5 stars A strong collection of short stories from Isaac Asimov, 18 Feb 2000
This is a collection of stories which demonstrates the full range of Isaac Asimov's ability from adventure to romance and from suspense to humour. There is something here for everyone including the excellent "Nightfall" which still stands today as a gem of modern science fiction. In my opinion this collection is not quite as strong as the first volume but is equally deserving of a read.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent collection from the greatest Sci-Fi author ever, 18 Feb 2000
This collection of stories firmly establishes Isaac Asimov as the greatest science fiction writer ever. He skillfully writes about a broad variety of themes with imagination, realism and characters that you can almost touch. This book also contains "The Last Question" which I feel is almost certainly his most profound story ever and just has to be read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awsome collection of scifi stories, 13 Nov 2008
By bob st.something (of someplace or other) - See all my reviews
When it comes to scifi, Asimov is the master.
Every story is well thought out and original, many of them have little morals; probably all of them will make you think.

And of course "The Last Question" is really beautiful.

I think Asimov with his short stories caters for the more scientifically inclined, more the thinking mans writer, but even still a layman with no interest in science would still be able to grasp the subject matter through good story telling.
