ndenitto 's review for:
The Star Beast
by Robert A. Heinlein
An OK book. A young boy owns a large, simple extra-terrestrial called Lummox that lives up to the name. Lummox accidentally causes damage all over town, leading to a massive public outcry in which people demand his execution. Little do people realize that Lummox's race has been searching for him throughout the galaxy for centuries and is just now knocking on the door to pick him up. And if he's not delivered to them, they'e threatened to destroy Earth. So there's that. Most of the book focuses on the diplomatic attempts to resolve this issue without casualty.
