Chronicle During Books The Star Beast (Heinlein's Juveniles, #8)

Lummox had been the Stuart family pet for years. Though far from cuddly and rather large, it had always been obedient and docile. Except, that is, for the time it had eaten the secondhand Buick . . . But now, all of a sudden and without explanation, Lummox had begun chomping down on a variety of things -- not least, a very mean dog and a cage of virtually indestructible steel. Incredible! John Thomas and Lummox were soon in awfully hot water, and they didn't know how to get out. And neither one really understood just how bad things were -- or how bad the situation could get -- until some space voyagers appeared and turned a far-from-ordinary family problem into an extraordinary confrontation.

Weigh Up About Books The Star Beast (Heinlein's Juveniles, #8)

Heinlein. What more need be said, really?A side note, if you will, on the subject of women in Heinlein's universe. Someone noted in a review a quote from the male lead ""very nearly as good a head on her as a man, and pretty to boot". This quote, out of the context of the novel, is quite damning...but how the male lead describes the woman, and how the woman is portrayed by Heinlien are two completely different things. This woman who is "nearly as good a head as a man" runs circles around EVERY

I read Panshin's review of Heinlein's work, Heinlein in Dimension A Critical Analysis, & got a craving to re-read this old favorite along the way. I'm glad I did. It's one of the Scribner YA novels he wrote & very well done. Well worth the re-read. The story is simple & interesting. Of more interest were the many dropped hints about politics, society & various future gadgets. While it's not a future I find real, it's interesting & fun. Lummy, short for Lummox, AKA The Star

The current John Thomas Stuart regarded Lummox as a loved family member held in trust by generations. His mother however had a much different opinion of Lummox and planned to get her way through emotional blackmail. Who would win? At this time a representative of an alien nation appears with demands of Earth. Can all this conflict and more be worked out by Mr. Kiku? One custom of this future Earth is slowly coming a reality: the concept that a minor person has rights, that parents do not own



Star beast is a classic science fiction story from one of the greats or the early sci-fi; Robert A. Heinlein.John Thomas Stuart VIII was a dashing young spaceman, back in his day. He traveled on one of the first exploration space ships that went out into the great unknown, had adventures and from one of them, he brought a pet back from the stars...But our story really starts with his grandson John Thomas Stuart XI who is in his yearly twenties, has a girlfriend and a really unusual, really BIG

I've had mixed experiences with Heinlein's writing but this was a fun read! Plot feels like a kids' story with a bit of mature humor snuck in for the parents.It definitely has that 1950s sci-fi vibe, but there's also a lot of subtle (and not so subtle) poking fun of the race/gender sterotypes of the genre. Betty and Mr. Kiku are clearly the ones running the show here!(Also pleasantly surprised at the number of non-Anglo surnames wandering around the story. It's not plot relevant, but a nice

I've read this so many times, I can't believe I haven't marked it as "read"! An all time favourite that doesn't lose its charm for me.
