Customer Reviews

Highly informative

This is a collection of seventeen Issac Asimov essays that he published as part of a monthly column for a sci-fi magazine. As usual, Asimov manages to take what potentially could be VERY boring concepts and tells them in a way that makes them understandable and interesting! I always feel smarter after reading his books, and this one was no exception. These essay books are typically science essays, but I liked this book in particular because it focused more on astronomy and our solar system(hence the title). If you are interested in learning new things, you can't go wrong with Asimov or this book. He has a way of writing that makes it easy to follow!
