phoenix_01 's review for:

Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein
2.0
adventurous challenging dark emotional mysterious reflective tense slow-paced

Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Philosophy masquerading as fiction is usually always a difficult pill to swallow. If not for a lot of dated cultural mannerisms which today would be deeply concerning, a lack of foresight, and a cast of pedantic and idiotic characters it could have been a good book. Summed up, this book is just like one big Euthyphro Dilemma from Plato's dialogues adapted for the space age.
