A review by andreashappe
The Green Hills of Earth by Robert A. Heinlein

3.0

Always remember that the stories were written between 1941-49 and the collection published in 1951. So this is a bit of retro reading at least. I assume that Heinlein was more progressive than average, so this is more a statement about its time. Morals when it cam to women and marriage were.. a lot different (remember, that this was pre-contraception). Computers were hardware as well as people doing it. Sentiment about natives (e.g., native american ones) was different, reading the n***** word was still very unusual for me.

It's easy to see that those stories were written over a span of eight years, they range from something that now would be a children's book or YA to more sinister themes. Overall, it's a short read and joyful, but don't forget the times when it was written.
