Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 6 Up-Boerst takes readers from Asimov's early years as a Russian immigrant in New York City, through his loves and marriages, his brief stint in the Army, his honors and awards, to his death in 1992. There is a good mix of his family and professional life. While not particularly exciting in its delivery, the text speaks to who Asimov was and provides insights into his writings. The black-and-white photographs lend a certain realism and interest to the story, and the quotes are documented. A list of Asimov's books for young people is also included. This volume serves up the facts on this incredibly prolific writer and on science fiction as a genre. It will provide solid information for reports and for leisure reading about a fascinating person.
