4.0 out of 5 stars The Best Of Robert Heinlein, March 28, 2000

By 

ann swanson (Washington, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Best of Robert Heinlein (Hardcover)

This is a collection of 8 stort stories written by Heinlein between 1939 and 1959. The stories are: Lifeline, The Roads Must Roll, And He Built a Crooked House, The Unpleasant Profession of Jonathan Hoag, The Green Hills of Earth, The long Watch, The Man Who Sold the Moon, and All You Zombies. Good stuff! But calling it the "best" might be a streach. Doesn't have as much of the humour as some of his later works, like Friday and The Cat who Walks Through Walls. It is interesting to see how he imagined future events, some which have now transpired. A fun read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but there's better., April 5, 2003

This review is from: The best of Robert Heinlein; (Hardcover)

While I did not purchase this collection, I have read all the stories, and all are classics. There is a better collection of heinlein work though, if you're willing to look. There is a collection titled "The Past Through Tomorrow". It is a collection that includes a Heinlein timeline and such great stories as "the Man who sold the moon" and "All You Zombies". I found mine at a local second hand store. If you're a diehard Heinlein fan, I highly recommend it, as it is well put together.

I would like to know exactly what this title is! Is it a collection of Heinlein's stories? If so which stories are in it.
