The impact of Stranger in a Strange Land was considerable, leading many children of the 60's to set up households based on Michael's water-brother nests. Heinlein loved to pontificate through the mouths of his characters, so modern readers must be willing to overlook the occasional sour note ("Nine times out of ten, if a girl gets raped, it's partly her fault."). That aside, Stranger in a Strange Land is one of the master's best entertainments, provocative as he always loved to be. Can you grok it? --Brooks Peck

Count your pages,

Rezension bezieht sich auf: Stranger in a Strange Land (Remembering Tomorrow) (Taschenbuch)
The title says it all. As you read this story of a stranger who brings more than novelty to his new world, different people will read different things into the story. I suggest you read "Stranger in a Strange Land" for your self and draw your own conclusions. Remember this is no longer the 60' so don't go out and build a water-brother nest.If you read an older version of this book, then you have missed a little something. Many of the words were cut out of the book before it was published. Moreover, due to contractual agreements the missing part of the book could not be printed while Robert A. Heinlein was alive. Now dead the missing pages have been restored to many versions. Now all bets are off. So count the words in the copy you are about to buy and be sure you have the whole thing. And for those people who read the original release I suggest you re-read to see what you missed If you have not read other Heinlein books then you may not realize how his writing stile has changed over his life time. This book is more of a latter Heinlein style. Some people like both early and late Hein lend others prefer one or the other. The audio versions have all the pluses and minuses of audio. So you will also want a copy of the book for reference. Helfen Sie anderen Kunden bei der Suche nach den hilfreichsten Rezensionen

Disappointing,
Von allenbad (Mars) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Stranger in a Strange Land (Taschenbuch)
I heard a lot about this book and had searched for it everywhere for a long time until i finally found it in a used book store, years after i first read about it. From what i had read, i expected something wonderful, but in my high expectations, my disappointment was all the more deeply felt. I have read Heinlein's other works and they were pretty okay ( but "I will fear no evil" was really a waste of paper but that's another story ), but since this was supposed to be his best work, i had to read it. What i found was another long winded yarn disguised this time as a sociology comment ( which I presume was shocking and sensational when it first came out but comes across now as pretty ordinary ). All through the book, i couldn't shake off the feeling of reading a book written in the 60's.... of watching a 60's B flick. The whole book feels so dated now that i was shaking my head in disbelief. Classics are supposed to be timeless, okay, granted that his commentaries on the nature of mankind is timeless, but the canvas that he paints it on certainly is not. In the end i had to soldier on to finish it as i had on a few occassions been close to quitting, failing to find any solid plot line to grope on. Frankly, I don't think Heinlein should be mentioned in the same breath as Asimov or Clarke as all his works seem unable to project themselves any further than the 1960s. Any commentary on the possible futures of humanity shouldn't be stuck with images of 60's sci-fi flicks that we see on tv. Helfen Sie anderen Kunden bei der Suche nach den hilfreichsten Rezensionen

Heinlein's best novel,

Rezension bezieht sich auf: Stranger in a Strange Land (Remembering Tomorrow) (Taschenbuch)
When I first picked up _Stranger in a Strange Land_ I wasn't expecting much. I had read _Starship Troopers_ and _The Puppet Masters_ and thought they were O.K. But this book just blew me away. Not so much because of its science fiction extrapolations, but rather for how funny, intelligent and true the book rang. _Stranger..._ shows human beings through the eyes of one Valentine Michael Smith, a Martian with human origins. He is so child-like, so innocent, so funny and calm in every situation even though he has such awesome powers--it's amazing to read about him. Along with Gully Foyle, in _The Stars My Destination_ I think he is one of the best SF protagonists ever written. And the way he learns and evolves from the strange cast of human characters--I also really liked Patty and Jubal Harshaw--is wonderful to read. The ending is so unforgettable. And how Heinlein came up with such a cool word like grok I'll never know. Also, he brings the interesting concept of water brothers into the story, and shows how humanity should love each other without resorting to meaningless violence. Sometimes Heinlein gets a bit too wordy and some of his views about God and woman I find hard to swallow--I can see why this book is so controversial. But aside from those minor flaws, _Strange..._ is a great book to read not only because it is enjoyable by itself as literature, but also because it has the intelligence and audacity to pose such difficult questions and firm beliefs about humanity, God and our place in the universe when now such concerns are ignored by most current SF.
