Hyggelig gjensyn med boken som åpnet sci-fi universet for meg

Den Røde planet var en av de første sci-fi bøkene jeg leste. Det er over 40 år siden, og jeg husket hele boken. Den gjorde uutslettelig inntrykk.

Still has a little punch to it.

It's interesting to hear what some of what of the thoughts and beliefs we had around Mars. Reality of course, tells us how wrong we where. 😎

So much story in such a short span

I have long been a fan of the 2000 movie by the same title, but that has nothing to do with this Heinlein piece. I'm glad it got me to look into it though, very cool story. An excellent world with compelling conflicts between all the characters. They discover and resolve multiple layers of problems all throughout. Fun read.

1949 classic, don't miss this sale

I found this classic sci-fi on the $199 sale narrated by my new fave narrator Zach Villa. He's an actor a dancer and a great narrator. He brings this classic sci-fi to vivid color and as a classic it stands the test of time. Sci-fi is not my genre, but this is so entertaining and so imaginative and so wonderfully written I cannot say more. So if you wanna be entertained the old fashion way this book is for you. It's wholesome as they used to write good novels. Where are my comments of help?

Great for Kids

I love Heinlein, so I thought I'd check it out. There's nothing wrong with it, but it's definately not going to make older audiences swoon.

Fun story

We know that Mars doesn’t have living creatures on it nowadays but if one applied it to a planet in another solar system it would be just as good. It’s fun story that’s very entertaining. 20th century science fiction is the best science fiction. Hands down.

an old friend

First read this 63 years ago at age 10. the way RAH talks about women is cringy now, but the story remains strong. it's his normal "freedom matters above all else" theme. Given our current political situation, it struck home.

Enjoyed it since 5th grade!

Our 5th grade teacher red this to us in 1965. It was several Heinlein novels later I realized it was Heinlein. It had been my favorite story ever and I’ve read it at lean ten times since.

favorite book

I loved the overall story. it is 1 of my favorite books and I listened to other books by the same author and loved them to.👍

Timeless classic

This story is just as good now. We know Mars isn't like as described but it could be any planet. Typical human colonization of the dominant money grubbing governments and corporations vs the fact that most of us do not want to be taken advantage of and have a good moral compass. Read lots of Heinlein's books growing up but not this one by chance. Totally happy I have now. Recommend and dervish there was even more about the Martians.
