Summary: Why have I not heard more about this book? It's great!
Comment: This is a collection of Asimov's probably 20 best short stories. Only three of the stories have anything to do with robots, unless you consider computers and talking cars robots.

This is easily one of the best books I have ever read. I read it in between his robot novels and Foundation novels, and it holds its own quite well against those.

Only one of the stories is in any other collection I know of. "Jokester," "The Billiard Ball," and "The Last Answer" are some excellent ones, but I agree that "The Last Question" (as it is named in my book; not "Final Question") is the best story I have ever read. Anybody remotely interested in science fiction at all should definitely buy this book. Before long you will be an Asimov fan for life.

Summary: Great book. If you read one Asimov book - read this one!
Comment: This book is a collection of Asimov's short stories, most of which actually have
NOTHING to do with robots. And that's why I liked it so much!
I read this book after "I, Robot" (Which is the first Asimov book you should read if you plan to really get into the Robots saga), because for some reason I was under the impression it was the next in the series. I was wrong. Again, MOST of the stories have nothing to do with robots, but deal with a wide variety of science fiction themes.

Most of the stories are great, and like many of the reviewers here I think that for "The Final Question" you should by it, but it has some weak ones too, fortunately they are short and quickly forgotten.
I do not plan to read, at the near future, any other Asimov stories, since the style is a bit out-dated, but this book was an exception and I would recommend it for all of you.
A bunch of great stories on various sci-fi themes, that make you laugh, think and be amazed...

Summary: One of two fine collections
Comment: This books is a great example of the stories Asimov has locked away in his mind. Some of these stories he had been thinking about for years before he actually wrote them down. The book is really not complete however unless you get Robot Visions as well. Robot Visions is actually the better of the two, but you can't miss out of some of the stories in here if you are a fan of his Robot Series.
