Narrative In Pursuance Of 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.

Write Up Based On Books The Star Beast (Heinlein's Juveniles, #8)

Star Best landed on my bookshelf after I picked it up at a used book store for less than a dollar. I simply couldn't resist the slightly adorable, eight-legged, dinosaur-creature-thing on the cover. I regret how long it took me to actually start reading this as its highly engaging and enjoyable. I work in the legal field, so Heinlein's use of accurate legal terminology was a pleasure for me to read. I fell in love with Lummox from the first page. His (or her) personality reminded me of Lennie

I picked up a 4-volume omnibus ("Four Frontiers", "To The Stars", "Infinite Possibilities", and "Outward Bound") which has the complete 14 novels of Heinlein's Juveniles. This is Heinlein at his most goofy. Kids in the court, and long ambassador talks. It was just a borin read.

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

This has the distiguished honor of the being the first REAL book I read. I remember I was in grade school (fourth grade? I don't remember) and did a book report over it and everything. At the time, I loved it...but re-reading it as an adult, I realize that it's not one of Heinlein's best. It's not even one of his best "young male" novels, but it's still a great way to pass an evening or two. The run-down (non-spoilered): John Thomas has a giant, talking pet alien, named Lummox, who is always

This is one of my favorite of Heinlein's juveniles. I've read it many times before, but this was the first time I listened to it as an audio book with a full cast reading the parts. Very well done, but more importantly the story itself is impressive especially for the time.In 1954, women had their place, we were adding 'God' to our national sayings, blacks were relegated to minor characters, there was a fierce nationalistic movement, & male WASPs were the perfect heroes. This book was



i read this ages ago but the main thing i took away from it was that heinlein can be a sexist douche.
