I was also impressed by Clarke's ability to keep me hooked even though much of the book feels like plodding exposition with relatively little action. Mostly I found a lot of fun in its grand scope, full of imaginative ideas surrounding traditional themes of human curiosity and fear. It's also a relic of its time, being concerned mostly with ideas rather than character, so don't expect many meaningful relationships or well-drawn women. It was formulaic, but in a charming and original way that has aged well I saw how Asimov could be so influential.
I picked this up on a whim from a free little library.
I have not read a lot of the oldest classic sci-fi from the middle of the century, and very little of Asimov himself.
