One of Heinlein's best-loved works, The Rolling Stones follows the rollicking adventures of the Stone family as they tour the solar system.

It doesn't seem likely for twins to have the same middle name. Even so, it's clear that Castor and Pollux Stone both have "Trouble" written in that spot on their birth certificates. Of course, anyone who's met their grandmother Hazel would know they came by it honestly.

Join the Stone twins as they connive, cajole, and bamboozle their way across the solar system in the company of the most high-spirited and hilarious family in all of science fiction.... It all starts when the twins decide that life on the lunar colony is too dull and buy their own spaceship to go into business for themselves. Before long they are headed for the furthest reaches of the stars, with stops on Mars, some asteroids, Titan, and beyond.

This lighthearted tale has some of Heinlein's sassiest dialogue - not to mention the famous flat cats incident. Oddly enough, it's also a true example of real family values, for when you're a Stone, your family is your highest priority.

I had forgotten how enjoyable a solid Heinlein story could be. Not one of the tales that caught the world's attention just good old fashioned story telling with the usual Heinlein perspective but without the slightly manifesto quality some of his more serious work have.

old school sci fi

Not all Sci-fi needs to be depressing and out to discourage us from the future. I'd never heard of this before but absolutely loved it. Great characters with great hidden love for each other. Great, start to finish j. Performance is top notch as well. Overall enjoyable!

Great Family Sci-fi

This story really allows your imagination to go to work. I am a long time fan of Heinlein. Yes, the story is dated. Yes, there is a patriarchal tone to the story. But the character that holds it all together is Grandma Hazel who I would pit against any female hero today. Just a great character and a joy to watch her interact with the other characters. Remember, this was written before we even put a man in space. The other thing I like is there is really no violence. The dangers they encounter are from space and not bad people. The narration was good and it was the easiest listen of any audio book to date for me. I really enjoyed revisiting an old favorite via Audible.

This story was made for an audio book!

Looking back from more than half a century, I can see why this Heinlein juvenile must have appealed to me. It’s about a family of geniuses — clever, tough-minded but affectionate geniuses, all of them math whizzes, all of them merrily wisecracking, even the elderly grandma — and it’s the sort of family any kid would wish he belonged to.

The story is quite dated, of course, but it still has old-time spacefaring charm.

The narration by Tom Weiner is beautifully done; every character is indelible. In fact, it works better in this form than it does on the printed page.

And the final passage, about humanity, driven by wanderlust and curiosity, inevitably rolling on to the ends of the universe, still gives me chills.

Memorable ending. Weiner’s reading is perfection.

I did not realize that this was a teen novel when I bought it. I just grabbed it on sale. however I thoroughly enjoyed it. I wish I knew about these when I was a teen.

Fun in spots but tedious in others. I like the characters, but a lot of the time Heinlein falls into the early sci-fi trap of too much science and not enough fiction. Narration of certain characters is too extreme too, can be grating. [AUDIBLE]

Fun in Spots, Tedious in Others

Some great dialogue laughs courtesy of grandma Hazel and the twins. Enjoyable story but not Heinlein's best.

Story was ok, started out pretty good then dragged a bit. Not one of Heinlein’s best, but worth a listen, even if to remember what we all thought of technology back then.

NINETY FIVE INDEED, LAST WEEK YOU WERE EIGHTY FIVE.
IT'S BEEN A HARD WEEK
2009 IS THE RENEWED COPYRIGHT. The original copyright was 1952 and there was a condensed version in Boy's Life. I mention this, because I believe this should be a Sci-Fi Classic not a Contemporary. It is a great book, written before Heinlein got into Free Love and when he thought Family and learning were important. There is a lot of math and science in the book, but it is not a dry book. The math and science should encourage children of even today, to take their studies serious. It is also full of lots of humor. No laugh out loud funny, but funny anyways. It has a half way decent story and some great characters. Talk about women's lib, the mother is a doctor and the grandmother a engineer. The grandmother was my favorite character. The father is smart, but the least smart in the family. He knows it, but he has lots of common sense.

HAND ME THAT SLIDE RULE
It is dated of course, but still a fun and enjoyable book today. A book good for all ages and all genders. It includes slide rules, Boy Scouts, and Adventure Serials. AS LEGAL AS CHURCH ON SUNDAY.
