" I hate to give 2 stars but for me it was just OK. I have liked his stories before but this pair of stories just didn't catch my attention. I haven't been a big sci fi fan so take my opinion based on that info. "

" I just couldn't finish it. It's not that the writing was bad (it wasn't), but I had a hard time with period people (from the mid-20th Century) in futuristic situations. It didn't quite work for me. I bailed midway through "Lost Legacy" "

" I really enjoyed the two short novels, Gulf and Lost Legacy. Though I read these at some point a long time ago, I had so little memory it was like reading them for the first time. Given that I'm out of new Heinlein, this is a rare treat. "

" Early Heinlein, not his best, but even weak Heinlein has much to recommend it especially if you're a RAH fan. "

" Not my favorite by Robert Heinlein. This set of novellas gets a little too philosophical and technical sometimes. "

" A four interesting short-stories of mixed science fiction, and fantasy novel of Heinlein. An unexplored realm ...........us having the possibilities to make a new world in the future. "

" I read this when I was a kid and couldn't remember the title. I felt it was Heinlein and last evening I read and discovered I'd found the book I liked as a kid. "

" Amazing vocal characterizations by Bronson Pinchot! You must hear this particularly if you associate Bronson strictly with his fuggy film and TV roles. His voice is fluid, complex, and vibrant. His reading creates a movie in the mind. Of course, Heinlein's stories help, too. "

" I was disappointed by this collection of four short Heinlein novels, only one of which, Jerry is a Man, was really enjoyable. The other three were written very early in Heinleins career before he fully developed his skill. "

" A collection of three short stories. Typical 1950s era concepts. I was particularly annoyed with his 1940s-50s colloquial dialogue. Clearly, Heinlein was still finding his narrative "voice". "

" This is one from my library that I read when I have time at lunch. it is short stories and one is very like the theme of Altas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. I like Heinlein. "

" This is one of that handful of books that I must reread now and again. The stories are old and dated in some aspects - what Golden Age SF is not? - but the ideas are addictive. Reading them again is like greeting an old friend. "
