The Door into Summer Audiobook

" Read when I was 19 and loved it. Loved it so much more this time around. "

" surprisingly enjoyable. considering this one is from the 1950s, i thought it would be humourously out of date. but in fact, it is still very relevant and poignant. "

" I believe this was the first time travel novel I ever read, back in early middle school. "

" This book was so great. Very humorous, which I wasn't really expecting. Also, the next cat I have is going to be named Pete. "

" If you like time travel stories, this book will be enjoyable, even though it takes quite awhile to get around to it. "

" Slightly cheese-tastic? Yes. But my favorite in the 'Heinlein for Kiddies' category. Romance, double crosses and time travel make for a great sci-fi adventure. "

" I loved this book when I first read it. As an adult I see the slight dodginess of Dan's suggested Lolita complex, but Heinlein with his usual audacious plotting aplomb gets over the hurdle. Pete is a great character too. Heinlein was obviously a cat man! "

" A quick, fun read. I predicted what was going to happen fairly early, though. "

" I know my cat is always looking for the door into summer "

" Fun and intelligent. I really enjoyed Pete and was delighted with the ending (in reference to Pete). "

" I'm becoming a Heinlein fanatic but every book of his I read is just so fantastic that it's hard not to be. I especially love the cat in this book. Heinlein is definitely a cat person. "

" I forgot how much fun Heinlein is to read. This book is a good example why is one of the all time best science fiction writers. The story is dated but the writing is, as always with Heinlein, top notch! "

" This is one of Heinlein's best short works. Written as a junvenile, he still managed to sneak in some thought-provoking (and mature) ideas. "

" It's interesting to read a book when you are 14 and then again at 31. I can say that after some good old fashioned college education, I can see how sexism and boring writing can make a book not as good. I love Heinlein, but now more in a classic sense. "

" One of my favorite Heinlein books, and also one of the first I read. And re-read. "

" Just barely three stars on this reread. RAH's 'philosophy' & politics are more annoying the older I get. Not to mention the sexism and the near-pedophilia. I'll have to be more careful about choosing to participate in group reads in the future - thank goodness this was short and brisk. "

" A fun time travel yarn, with the interesting perspectives of 1970 and 2001 imagined in the 1950s. Also recommended for car lovers! "

" This was a fun read. It's always interesting to read an old sci if novel and see what their vision of the future is and compare it to what things are like today. Obviously computers and the Internet were not on the radar screen! "

" I really liked this book. I enjoyed the descriptions of 2001 and 1970 written from 1957. It always makes me chuckle. I liked time travel theme. It was an enjoyable quick read. "

" My all time favorite Heinlein book. This is the book that started me down the road as a life-long sci-fi fan. "

" Another time I needed a half star - I would give it 3.5. This time travel book was written in the 50's and set in the 70's and the year 2000. It was interesting to see what Heinlein thought life would be like. It has a great cat, a romance, and several shifts in time. "

" A sweet little classic about robots, time travel, trademarks, betrayal, revenge, and a pretty cool cat. Liked it a lot. "

" ( A Porta Para O Verão ) "

" This was my first experience reading Heinlein, and I was pleased by the result. It's a pretty simple tale of betrayal and revenge, with more maturity than such tales tend to have. I'm pretty likely to try some more of his works later on. "

" This was my first Heinlein book. I will be reading more Heinlein. "

" This is classic wacky Heinlein for kids. The one part I really enjoyed was when the galactic overlord measured time using the half life or "half death" of certain elements. Clever. The rest was silly, but not entirely un-enjoyable. "

" Outdated now, but the human, and feline, elements still carry this wonderful tale. "

" For a 15 year old boy with set ideas of the world, this book rocked it to the very foundation; opening his mind to science fiction and a new way of viewing the world he lived in. I feel in love with Robert Heinlein and the world he created with his books. "

" My first Heinlein. I thought it was an odd tale in the beginning but slowly it got better and better - always with a dry sense of humour. The ending was perfect. Want to read more of him. "
