  <default-description> &lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;A classic novel from the mind of the storyteller who captures the imagination of readers from around the world, and across two generations&lt;/B&gt;&lt;P&gt;First prize in the Skyway Soap slogan contest was an all-expenses-paid trip to the Moon. The consolation prize was an authentic space suit, and when scientifically minded high school senior Kip Russell won it, he knew for certain he would use it one day to make a sojourn of his own to the stars. But &quot;one day&quot; comes sooner than he thinks when he tries on the suit in his backyard -- and finds himself worlds away, a prisoner aboard a space pirate's ship, and heading straight for what could be his final destination....&lt;P&gt; </default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[I must admit that I have never read this particular piece of Heinlein.  I am usually quite vocal about my dislike for his writing style (while quietly admitting that I enjoy his short stories and <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17214.Starship_Troopers" title="Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein">Starship Troopers</a>).  Well, I must add a new book to the list of what I've enjoyed by him.<br/><br/>Hav...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/31235850">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Actually, currently listening to Full Cast Audio's version.  Great so far save for the campiness... you just can't take the mid-century out without rewriting it totally.  &quot;Ah shucks&quot; and &quot;swell&quot; made me cringe.

    <body><![CDATA[What a blast.  Makes me nostalgic for the days when boys dreamed of traveling to space and knowing how to work a slide rule was something to be proud of.  Like other books of this genre, it's primarily an avenue for the author to explore his/her own scientific and social theories, but Spacesuit lack...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/73531051">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is the very first sci-fi I read as a child. Because of this book, I became a sci-fi fan. Enjoyed it as much but for different reasons as an adult.  Heinlein can be chauvanistic (understatement) but he tells a good tale and I understood more of it this time.  I can relate almost everything to St...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/50053148">more...</a>]]></body>
