A detailed narrative of a prolific author's life
By A Customer on September 26, 1997
Format: Paperback
I read this book (and all of Asimov's autobiographies) when they were first printed and have read each one at least twice. If you like Asimov's "gentle reader" writing style, reading his autobiographies will be fun for you, more so if you want a view into a busy, obsessed writer's life and the forces that shaped him.
These books are frank (especially "I, Asimov"), interesting, and very often amusing.
"In Memory Yet Green" and "In Joy Still Felt" are large tomes, totalling about 1550pp together.
For a biography of Asimov, you can't do better than these. As he mentioned in his biographies, there's not much in the way of action or big events in these books. It's a long trip through all the words, but the trip is enjoyable.

A Book only his Fans will Love
By J. head on March 24, 2004
Format: Paperback
I have heard it claimed that Isaac Assimov is the only author that has at least one book in every major classification of the Library's Dewey decimal system. Mr. Assimov was a prodigious workaholic author. In this book, written I suppose so he can get a book in the Autobiographical section. Isaac tells of his early life as the son of Russian-Jewish emigrants living in Brooklyn. Work and study became his regiment early on in life. I would recommend this book only if you have enjoyed his regular fare. One can see the seeds of his future books as he goes about trying to select a career path. Assimov goes onto explain his activities during WWII and surprisingly the struggle he had to become an author. Even a budding author with his talent needed mentoring. This is definitely a low-key verbose book that will appeal mainly to his fans. This book includes only his early career. One of his memories was his father's look of surprise when he saw the ocean after they stood on their apartment building roof for the first time. His family had been so intent on running their candy store business that years after arriving in New York they had never realized the ocean was so near. The book is a series of these types of memories, no blockbusters, some would even say "its nothing to write about " but he did and it makes for passable entertainment.

A look at the "Golden Age" of science fiction ...
By Tom Smedley on August 17, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
as seen by one who was there. This is also a fascinating window into American immigrant experience, and an engaging account of the rungs on the ladder to a professional writing career. I regard Dr. Asimov as a mentor, since I devoured everything by him that I could find while growing up -- and since.
