I found this story to be mediocre. Essentially a children's book about a boy who has an alien as a pet, this tale recounts how the boy tries to save his pet. This boring premise is not helped by the cheesy dialogue and one-dimensional characters. Heinlein is, without a doubt, one of the masters of science fiction. This book, however, proves that even a literary genius can strike out with his pen.
2 out of 5 stars
