A Science Fiction Classic!

If you could sum up The Man Who Sold the Moon in three words, what would they be?

Heinlein's Future History...

What did you like best about this story?

These stories have "aged" surprisingly well. I find myself just as excited by the audiobook version as I was on my first reading of the book, now many years ago.

What does Buck Schirner bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The voicing made the book stand out as even more memorable than my first experience reading it.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

"Requiem" very nearly brought me to tears.

Any additional comments?

Rated PG 13 for mild profanity. (Single instance.)

The Man Who Sold The Moon

"The Man Who ..." may be RAH's most intriguing short story before he fell into the novella and adult length genres. Incredible attention to details and twists and turns. Joe 2015

Increible

La historia es increible y aun mas sorprendente es que halla sido escrito tantos años antes y muchas de las cosas ya estan sucediendo quiero leer mas de este autor

Superb performance!

Buck Schirner perfectly captures the 1950s speech patterns of the characters. They sound just like I imagined they would when I first read this book.

Excellent stories from the 1940’s !

As I continue to read and listed to everything Robert A. Heinlein, I really enjoyed The Man Who Sold the Moon, and the books other related short stories. Some may comment on it’s dated contents, but this, as an aspiring author and historian, just makes his books that much more compelling to read and learn from!

Titular novella is pretty good...

...the rest of the collection isn't.

Sorry, Bob.

Great performance

Great performance. Been a Heinlein fan for forty years and really enjoyed having it read to me.

Another wonderful collection of the Masters work.

well read and easy to listen to. would recommend to any new reader of Heinleins work.

always a great story

RAH is awesome. there's not a thing I can say that wouldn't have already been said about how great the writer he was.

But what in the heck is with this covet picture? The original cover is perfect ....this looks like it's some kind of Horror portrayal... And it is definitely it's horrible.

A product of the times

It was written in the 20s-60s. Give him a break, it was pretty good for those eras. And I mean that socially and scientifically.
