I am tempted to give it a four or five star rating in tribute to the nostalgia of revisiting something I read back when I was just becoming a science fiction fan, but I can't quite do it. This version is a restored version and appears as the author intended it to be. It appears that there was a grand battle between Heinlein and his editor and that the version I read in junior high school was drastically mangled in comparison to what Heinlein actually wrote. That is the case even if this is not actually the same book I read back then. Now that I have read it again after all these years I can say that as soon as the little round Martian, Willis, was introduced the memory did come back to me and as I made it through the book more and more came back to me. Red Planet is one of those I was not sure that I had read. Some of the plots I remember and others of them escape me now. I am not sure that the school library had every single Heinlein juvenile, so I can't be sure that I read every one. That was a very long time ago and some of them I remember better than others. I can still picture the shelf on which they were all shelved. " When I was in junior high school I read every Heinlein juvenile the school library had. This one is set on Mars and how a young man learns about growing up from his friend, a martian.
" Another juvenile that I keep coming back to as an adult. Overall Performance: Narration Rating: Story Rating:.
