Friday 86 reviews Robert A. Heinlein
Hodder & Stoughton Ltd, 1983
Everything you could want in a book and more
+ Revisiting Friday + Heinlein, Sex, and a Pretty Cyborg
I came across the paperback version of this book in the $1 bin of a thrift store and was surprised I hadn't heard of it before. I thought this might have been a rare dud in his career, but thankfully, I was wrong. This could be considered a sequel to his novella "Gulf", and actually features ...

Stranger in a Strange Land: Uncut Version 1 review
Ace Books, 1991
A fine yarn, but dated and self-indulgent
Heinlein conceived STRANGER in 1948, but didn't finish it until
1960. His editor asked him to cut it from 220,000 to 150,000 words; as
published it was 160,087. It was reissued from the original
manuscript in 1991, and I just got around to reading this "uncut"
edition. I first read ...

Farnham's Freehold 53 reviews Robert A. Heinlein
Baen, 1994
My first exposure to Libertarianism
+ Where is the Sequel!!! + A world with no sign of other humans.
It's been close to 30 years since I first read Farnham's Freehold, and I've read it once or twice since then. Don't get too wound up in "liking" Farnham; he's a bastard, you're not gonna like him. Heinlein just went through a libertarian period, and this is the result of that. The message isn't ...

Podkayne of Mars 27 reviews Robert A. Heinlein
Robert Hale Ltd, 2003
Pre-feminist. Contains one superb insight.
+ Don't let the others scare you off! + *Someone's* place is in the home, woman or man.
This book was written just before the feminist
movement's 2nd-half-of-20th-century phase got
underway. Heinlein had not yet broken free of
traditional gender roles (as he certainly did
shortly thereafter), although it is perfectly
obvious that he not only values, but always enjoys,
