Advantages: The best book ever (for me, anyhow)

Disadvantages: Asimov's only story dealing with a menage a trois. Some may not approve, but it's all very decently done.

This is the most amazing book I have ever read.

Sounds hackneyed, I know, but it's true. It would be my first choice of book in any collection (the nuns at the convent would kill me - I should really choose the Bible first!)

This book normally languishes under its normal classification of "Science Fiction". And yes, it is SF, and as a twelve year old, I read it as such. BUT - it is also a beautifully crafted love story, incorporating awakening sexual awareness, love, ethics, coping with society and the pain and joy of parenthood.

One and a half decades later, the story is still a good one for me.

Honestly, if you haven't read it, it's one of my recommended life experiences, one of which is sugared strawberries, cream and champagne.

This book is good.
