Hyggelig gjensyn med boken som åpnet sci-fi universet for meg

Den Røde planet var en av de første sci-fi bøkene jeg leste. Det er over 40 år siden, og jeg husket hele boken. Den gjorde uutslettelig inntrykk.

Still has a little punch to it.

It's interesting to hear what some of what of the thoughts and beliefs we had around Mars. Reality of course, tells us how wrong we where. 😎

So much story in such a short span

I have long been a fan of the 2000 movie by the same title, but that has nothing to do with this Heinlein piece. I'm glad it got me to look into it though, very cool story. An excellent world with compelling conflicts between all the characters. They discover and resolve multiple layers of problems all throughout. Fun read.

1949 classic, don't miss this sale

I found this classic sci-fi on the $199 sale narrated by my new fave narrator Zach Villa. He's an actor a dancer and a great narrator. He brings this classic sci-fi to vivid color and as a classic it stands the test of time. Sci-fi is not my genre, but this is so entertaining and so imaginative and so wonderfully written I cannot say more. So if you wanna be entertained the old fashion way this book is for you. It's wholesome as they used to write good novels. Where are my comments of help?

Great for Kids

I love Heinlein, so I thought I'd check it out. There's nothing wrong with it, but it's definately not going to make older audiences swoon.

Fun story

We know that Mars doesn’t have living creatures on it nowadays but if one applied it to a planet in another solar system it would be just as good. It’s fun story that’s very entertaining. 20th century science fiction is the best science fiction. Hands down.

RED PLANET--- by Robert A. Heinlein

One of Heinlein's best 'juvenile' books, though the themes and content go a surprisingly long way beyond what is expected from even a modern Y/A novel---a very engaging book, even if modern scientific knowledge of Mars tells us there aren't any canals...

classic Heinlein story!

I love Heinlein. this is a classic that I can listen to with my kids and enjoy over and over. The narrator performed very well and brought the story to life.

Definitely a book for boys

I love Heinlein but this one definitely showed the bias for men. I have all daughters so probably won’t share this with them unless it’s a this is how it was story. I still enjoyed it and really loved some of the concepts with the martians. It also fit the length of my drive which was perfect for me.

an old friend

First read this 63 years ago at age 10. the way RAH talks about women is cringy now, but the story remains strong. it's his normal "freedom matters above all else" theme. Given our current political situation, it struck home.
