Have Space Suit, Will Travel

Rating:
Summary: A Masterpiece
Review: This was one of the two books that started me on the road to science fiction, the other being Pebble in the Sky. A lighthearted romp through the world of science with a healthy dose of adventure thrown in for good measure. I have read nearly all of Heinlen's books since then. A beauty to read.

Summary: Kip Russell has talking space suit named Oscar
Review: One of the best Heinlein science fiction novels I've everread. Like Space Cadet, Starman Jones, Rocket Ship Galileo, andStarship Troopers, it's your average coming-of-age novel. Kip Russell has a surplus talking space suit named Oscar. He wants to go to the Moon. One night, he's in his space suit, walking in the backyard of his house when he and Pee Wee are abducted by the Mother Thing and they go to the Moon and have adventures beyond Earth.

Summary: Even after 40 years, still one of the best SF stories.
Review: I first read this book almost 40 years ago and I still enjoy revisiting Kip, Peewee and the Mother Thing every few years. As a celebration of American values and great storytelling, "Have Spacesuit, Will Travel" has few peers. Although it is considered one of Heinlein's "juveniles," this book is enjoyable by young and old alike.

Rating:
Summary: One of Heinlein's Best
Review: Have Spacesuit Will Travel ranks with Citizen of the Galaxy and Double Star as one of Heinlein's best novels. It is well written, a good adventure story, and full of marvelous ideas and characters. It's highly recommended. Don't let the title put you off.

Summary: Outstanding
Review: What a great book, you gotta read this one. If you don't you'll have to read something else by Heinlein, anything at all in fact. I was sickened by one of the reviews here calling Heinlein's adult books "pornographic." Double Star, The Door into Summer, Starship Troopers, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, perfect examples of his adult books which are distinctively not pornographic. I am yet to read one which is. Oh yeah, almost forgot, Stranger in a Strange Land is considered to be one of the most important novels of this century and to be a literary landmark. I found it hard to believe that someone with enough incompetence to call Robert A. Heinlein a pornographic author, could have the good sense to call this a good book. Well, nobody can be all bad I guess.

Summary: Great Book
Review: Although this book was originally written for kids, it has become one of the all-time classics of all science fiction. It is no longer considered a book just for kids, it is considered a great book for all ages. It was selected by David Pringle (a very distinguished SF Editor) as one of the 100 best Science Fiction novels. If you want to read a good book go for this one, or anything Heinlein wrote for that matter. All of his books, including the other works for children are outstanding achievements in the science-fiction field and the literary field in general.

Summary: A book for all ages, timeless, truly a classic.
Review: This fun filled adventure is one of the classic sci-fi adventures. Written in 1958, this story is timeless. It carries with it the hopes for future space exploration, and advances in technology. Like many sci-fi greats, Heinlein knows how to tell a story and keep you captivated from beginning to end. His characters are real, likable and full of emotions. Kip is his main character in this story. He is a very likable young man that every one can relate to. His hopes for the future are grand, and maybe unattainable, but that does not discourage him from pursuing them non the less. Peewee is everybodies little sister, lovable, and in a hurry to grow up, but some times a pest. Their adventure in space will keep you and the edge of your seat, from beginning to end. I loved it when I was 15, and still love it at 37.
