Summary: Superb follow-up to "In Memory Yet Green"
Review: This companion volume to "In Memory Yet Green" is a must for anyone that truly appreciates the works of Isaac Asimov. If you can find it, read it. I humbly suggest that the publishers are crazy for letting it go out of print. While the contemporary autobiography (I.Asimov: A Memoir) is fine and provides details beyond 1978, the original two volumes allow you to know the man, his aspirations and accomplishments much more thoroughly.

Summary: Asimov makes the mundane interesting.
Review: This is the second volume of Asimov's interesting life, a bit scary when seeing the thickness of the volume, but well worth it to really inderstand this man. His writing style is orderly and and paragraphs small, you keep reading just one more quick page until you find a chapter has passed. I did find it frustrating that he didn't include much insight into his family's personalites. He really valued their privacy, but it left me with a feeling of uncompleteness. It reads like diary entries that he knows someone will be reading. No gossip, just the facts. Isaac does give you a lot of insight into his personality, and by reading "between the lines" you see the real Asimov. He truly was a wonderful entertaining writer as he made the most commonplace activities, good reading.
