Book Reviews of Space Cadet
Book Review: A classic novel by one of Science Fiction's finest authors
Summary: 5 Stars
I have often been asked on what would be a good science fiction novel to introduce new readers to the genre, and "Space Cadet" is usually one of my top picks. Although it was written in 1948, it still holds up as one of Heinlein's best. It is was one the original "Heinlein juvenile" classics that became the 1950's TV show, "Tom Crobett, Space Cadet," and seems to have never gone out of print.
Many other authors, especially Orson Scott Card in "Enders Game" and practically all writers of 'military sci-fi,' have obviously used this book as a touchstone and starting point for their own writing. Fans of the novel or movie "Starship Troopers" will also find the basics of their training here. (A mild pun)
Highly recommended. A timeless classic for all readers of the genre.
