Commentary Appertaining To Books The Door Into Summer

This was the first time I had read this particular novel by Heinlein and I was initially not blown away by it. Part of that might be that it was not a re-read but I think it is more than that. It is fast paced, contains more 'hard' science than a lot of Heinleins sci-fi does and is fascinating in many ways. But at times - quite a lot of times, to be honest - the story seems to jerk rather than flow and the characters also jump around a bit. This may be due to the fact that it was originally

Another old favorite picked up as a downloadable audio book from the library. It was quite enjoyable in this medium & the reader was very good. Originally published in 1957, it is set in 'the future' years 1970 & 2000. The idea of traveling into the future via 'cold sleep' was a pretty popular until sometime in the 70's, but cutting edge at this time, I think. Haven't heard about it in humans for years.The hero, Dan, is an engineer & inventor. His genius isn't in break through

For today's standards it is a rather short novel with Heinlein still in his early stage, trying to develop the style that later led to his major works, and short is better in this case. It is told first person perspective and this makes things difficult for the narrative part but better for the introspective one.There are no discussions of time travel issues or paradoxes to be solved, still the book is enjoyable, but if you want science fiction with any depth or emotional resonance, don't expect

I read this as a teenager, back in the 1960s. Heinlein was my break-out author for reading. Never before had I inhaled books the way I did with Heinlein, and this was one of my favourites.

I liked most of Heinlein's older stuff. Once he wrote "The Number of the Beast" he started writing too weird for me. This was one of his better ones. It is the first that I recall with a cat in it (he seems to have a reverence for cats) & an inventor who is a pretty smart guy but can still get himself into a world of trouble - and then back out again. Fun, quick read.

An enjoyable SF story from a Grandmaster.The novel's protagonist, Daniel B. Davis, was a precursor to Hugh Farnham and even Lazarus Long somewhat, though Long was introduced earlier in 1941's Methusaleh's Children. Actually, Davis (and others) are thinly disguised Heinlein: fiercely individualist, libertarian, technically savvy, hard working yet innovative, resourceful, wise cracking, and with a horn dog libido that would make a porn star blush. I wonder if Door Into Summer used some of the same

A long time favorite book, the narration really brought it to life!
