Time for the Stars by Robert A. Heinlein
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Re-Read 6/11/25

I suppose this is considered one of the Juveniles of Heinlein, but it really feels more like a regular boy-gets-berth on a long-term ship kind of story, with focus on interpersonal relationships more than anything particularly SF.

BUT, there is a solid core of light speed travel and relativity snafus, telepathy to keep in contact during the long years, and simple adventure.

It's not a bad novel at all. Its simplicity is its strength. The plot is about as straightforward as you can get while leaning heavy on a bit of psychoanalysis. :)


Personal note:
If anyone reading my reviews is be interested in reading my SF (Very hard SF, mind you), I'm open to requests.

Just direct message me in goodreads or email me on my site. I'd love to get some eyes on my novels.
