    "Classic Heinlein"
    Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

    The story is a bit dated and the reader can pick up on how much time has past since it was written. Having said that it's still vintage Heinlein. Still worth a listen.


    Would you be willing to try another book from Robert A. Heinlein? Why or why not?

    Although his crystal ball was off (and who can blame him) RAH is a master at world building, and injecting themes into his work. I enjoy the way he guides the reader along.

    "Revisited"

    It has been years since I read this book (60+) and I had forgotten most of it. I did enjoy it. It definitely exhibits the political and male thought processes of the times.

    "Not my favorite Heinlein"
    Where does The Puppet Masters rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    This book is in the bottom ten percent of my Audible library. It will be a long time before I play it again.


    What about Lloyd James’s performance did you like?

    Lloyd James is great as usual.


    Any additional comments?

    If you like Heinlein you'll probably listen to the whole book, but its far from his best work. I'd say its probably my least favorite Heinlein after 'I will fear no evil'.

    "Good book good narator"

    The book was pretty good...some things were dated but for a book from 1951 he got alot of things right but some very wrong. I liked he language as it very 1950ish which gave a glimps into how different people spoke what is now long ago (60 years).

    "One of his better Adult Novels"

    I have often found that Heinlein's adult fiction is a little to strange for me, but this was an excellent Heinlein. You cannot consider your Heinlein library completed without this excellent book.

    "Should have been a 4 star story"

    The premise is an interesting and started off great. It slowly turned out to be a science silly fantasy rather than science fiction. For once the movie was better than the book in my opinion.

    "Um dos melhores livros de sci-fi que já escutei "

    Fiquei preso do começo ao fim. A narração também é excelente. E essa estória foi escrita há muitas décadas. Impressionante.

    "For Old School Sci-fi enthusiasts"

    Sometimes I have the mood for certain books, sometimes the book puts me in one... Regarding this book it was the latter. I found the idea interesting... All those gadgets and devices imagined back then into the future were fun to read about. I enjoyed the book. In fact I will give another try to one of the other books by the author which I did not give a chance before: Glory Road. Enjoyed and entertained
