What Heinlein Wrote,
By
This review is from: CliffsNotes Heinlein's Works (Paperback)
The Amazon computer claims that I ordered and got "Cliffsnotes Heinlein's Works (Cliffs Notes), copywrite 1969. What I actually got and is in front of my face at this moment is "Cliff's Notes on Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land & Other Works", copywrite 1975. Believe me, there are differences between the two. Get the most current version you can find!
A copy of Cliffs Notes on Heinlein's work is absolutely essential to any fan who has read more than a few of Heinlein's works! My copy runs to 69 pp. and gives very short synopses of all of Heinlein's stories. Although I have been a Heinlein fan for over fifty years, this short book is being a good help to me in keeping my memories of plots and stories straight with the titles. I do have one grump. The editor who wrote this pamphlet seems to believe that "Podkayne of Mars" is a very light work and not up to Heinlein's standards. I happen to believe this story is one of Heinlein's best. While I may have a grump or two, this is a magnificent source of information on Heinlein's fictional works. About 95% of what is written in this set of 'notes' is right on the money. That is amazingly good for an author as complicated as Heinlein. Please, be sure to shop around and acquire the latest version of this fine work that you can find.
