Not surprising that Heinlein's first few stories were badly written. He made up for it later on. But this book will be of interest mainly to critics and biographers. As a dedicated Heinlein fan, I ground through about 2/3 of the book but finally gave up.

Go to his page. Everybody who reads him agrees. Everyone has their favorite Heinlein story or stories. Mine is STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND, which I pray will be made into a movie. I have SIASL's original uncut book. It could be a great four-hour flick.

And of course, this EXPANDED UNIVERSE covers much of his early work, which is most appreciated by RAH fanatics such as me.
Still, He started brilliant and kept on getting brilliant-er. Consider the stories about time traveling as well as whatever sci-fi plot they pursue. Maybe a good strategy is to read His latter-day books and then go back to the early days; that's what I've done. It's a good study...

Actually, this is a replacement copy of a book i have had for years. I own every book Robert Heinlein ever wrote, and have difficulty comparing them, or evaluating them for that matter. I would highly recommend them to anyone that likes to read scifi and likes to think. My kids started reading them at about age 10. (30 years ago) and still do.

Great way to read Heinlein. Plenty of his works. Solid stories and well-written tomes. Reasonable price for a great book in good condition.

A grouping of many stories. Not a novel. Plus a look into the missed opportunities that we can still fulfill.

A brilliant mix of fiction and non-fiction, along with interesting if somewhat dated commentary.

It wasn't the book I thought it was but that my error, not Amazon's. Still a great book by a wonderful author.
