I do remember it being fairly good when I read some of it in high school, although something about it failed to capture me and prompt me to read it all the way through. One factor of that may be because Asimov didn't really understand the material, turns out he hit a wall when going from differential to integral calculus (the 2nd part of introductory calculus, very basic stuff), so I now view it with suspicion.
