scottjp 's review for:

The Rolling Stones by Robert A. Heinlein
3.0

This is one of Heinlein's "juveniles", which means it doesn't have any adult situations and nothing too dire happens to anyone. It's also written in a lighthearted, whimsical fashion, with a lot of witty dialogue and rapid quips that reminded me of the old screwball comedy films (I laughed a lot). Yet it is chock full of real, hard science regarding astrophysics, space travel, and the physics of other worlds. What a great way to introduce science to young people! Recommended for ages 9-99.
