Summary: The Messiah returns from an unlikely place.
Review: After 30 years as an unparalleled classic Heinlein's Valentine Michael Smith continues to weave his parable of mankind's search for humanity, courage and love for another generation. Explore this book for you'll find that salvation lies within. P.S. This novel demands a screenplay that will do it justice. Stanley Kubrick, do you GROK?

Summary: The Most Brilliant Literature Written on Earth or Mars
Review: This is without a doubt the best book ever written. This book is a bit hard to understand at first and you should probably read other heinlein first, but other than that this book is a must-read (i know over used cliche). This book is an insight into mankind's collective psyche, which leads me to wonder what Heinlein was smo..errr...thinking when he wrote this novel. YOU WILL READ THIS BOOK

Summary: Easily one of Heinlein's most significant, close to his best
Review: There are many people who believe that Stranger in a Strange Land is Heinlein's best work. I'm not certain I would go that far (I prefer several of his others to this one) but no one can deny the impact Stranger has had on Science Fiction and popular culture.Stranger in a Strange Land works on many different levels -- as a popular SF book it's exciting and interesting. A good read that might offend you but will never bore you. As a satire on popular culture, politics and religion it is funny, cutting and very forthright.Stranger in a Strange Land made Heinlein a hero to the far left and the far right simultaneously. Any work that can do that deserves to be read

Summary: Interesting. Great title.
Review: Mike is a mars-born human who returns to earth after a life with the very odd creatures of mars. He posseses great powers, which can pretty devastating, but is at the same time innocent as i child and never means any harm. He loves everybody, but has a diametrically diffrent opinion about things, which, combined with his unbelievable powers, makes his life on earth somewhat(!!!!!!!!) problematic, at least for some humans. This is what the book is about, and it's a jolly good reading too, UNTIL (spioler warning!!!!!!) Mike decides to start his own *c*h*u*r*c*h. There it just dies for me. I don't share all of the great Heinleins (or Mikes, that is) philosophy about life and relations, but that doesn't keep me from enjoying most of the book.

Summary: The One Book Which Is A Must For Everyone To Read!!!!!!!!!
Review: I first read this book when I was 12 years old, I still make a point of reading it every year. Everytime I read it something new emerges to fascinate me and compels me to revaluate my life. This is "the book" every man, woman, and child in America should read

Summary: The best book ever writen
Review: I read read read and read. The most I read this book I wounder how could a man put words together like Heilein did. It is amazing. And now it's uncut version is the best. The book was written when I was born and the first time I read was when his autor died. If someone had lend me this book, before 1988 I would do anything possible to meet Heilein himself. Stranger in a Strange Land: The best

Summary: A MUST READ FOR ALL HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE STUDENTS
Review: I was first introduced to this book by my father. This is one of his favorite Heinlein novels. It took me a while to completely understand the meaning, and I'm sure future readings will further enlighten me. I was struck by the unconditional love and kindness exhibited by V.M. Smith in the book. I found his innocence to be delightful. The bond that he shares with Jubal Harshaw by the end of the book is one that everyone should have at least once in their life. This book is a must read for anyone to learn about love, tolerance, patience, and the essential goodness of humanity. It restored in me the idea that not everyone is evil and maybe...just maybe... there's hope for humanity after all. Heinlein was a master at forcing his readers to stop and think what he wrote

Rating:
Summary: Genius, pure genius!
Review: This is the standard all Sci-Fi books should be measured against. It's thought provoking views of life, religion, art, love, science, and sex keep the reader glued to the pages. Once you pick it up, you're reluctant to put it down. When your finished you'll wish there were a dozen sequels

Rating:
Summary: Thou art god.
Review: This book burrows into the mind and questions every "truth" held dear to us. This book made me rethink every idea I was brought up with, from the sacredness of religion, to the sanctity of marriage, and the point of life itself. It defines some of the most elusive subjects of any time. What is Love? What is being alive? It is a biting satire on our society and it really makes you think. And if that's not enough, it's a compelling and entertaining story.
