Book Reviews of Rocket Ship Galileo
Book Review: I LOVE Heinlein!
Summary: 4 Stars
I really like Heinlein's juvenile novels for the entertaining way he explains the physics of space travel. The cover art on this one makes it desirable as well. This was not my favorite book of his but it was the 1st (not counting "We the Living" since it wasn't published until much later.) The story was somewhat topical in 1947 since he included a Nazi plot to take over the Earth by using the Moon as a military base. This was also an era when rockets & space travel were gaining a lot of importance. It's still a great read for kids today & for the occasional childish adult!
