Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A Little Disappointed
Review: This is a collection of Heinlein's "Future History" stories, set in chronological order by story. Some of these were boring enough to make me want to cry rather than read more... others were much more interesting. The real disappointment of the book was the novella bit in it, "If This Goes On---". It had terrific buildup, a good protagonists, then fell flat on its face with a mundane and boring ending. I'm rating the book low, simply because the few gems, while shiny and good, weren't worth reading the duds for. Not recommended unless you are a die-hard Heinlein, hard sci-fi fan.
