I think this is the only book by Heinlein where the central character and narrator is a teenage girl. He does a good job from my male point of view although some female readers complain about Poddy's excessively cloying cuteness. The ending is dark and when the publisher complained, Heinlein made it even darker. I still don't get the reason for this. There's a political plot lurking in the background that's never really explained as well.

This is one of the books from Heinlein's late period. I hated these books when I was younger, but now that I'm in my seventies, I find myself drawn to them. They're not so much slick SF stories but rather musings on "What is Life, After All". ( )

I have a feeling Heinlein had a new baby in the house when he wrote this. And he had a problem with it. Very amusing sexism floating around in a sea of racial equality. ( )

It is a Heinlein story, so that guaranteed quality to the writing, which it has. The story is told in a semi-journal manner mostly from Podkayne. Most of the book is about the main character's experiencing cultures and politics different than Mars. There is overt 1960s sexism going as there are awkward flirtations going on which Podkayne is uncertain to deal with

However little of that matters as the end is an abrupt change and a disappointing one, or I should say two.My edition of the story has 2 endings and both are sad, on more so than the other.

It's an okay book but far from Heinlein's best. I give it 3/5 stars. It could have been better. ( )

Podkayne is a young adult human female born and raised on provincial Mars, who dreams of becoming a starship captain... Heinlein wrote this novella in 1963 and it mostly serves as an expository vehicle for the author's ideas of what life might be like in the future in terms of science and social mores. The actual plot is superficial ("Poddy" takes an interplanetary trip with her uncle and brother) and the real action doesn't occur until the final chapters. Pure science fiction and dated, it doesn't hold up after sixty years of real-world advancements (both technological and societal) and and the lack of depth in regard to the plot make this little more than a curiosity. ( )

Doesn't hold up well on re-reading 20 years later. I was probably able to cut Heinlein some slack during my early "Heinlein period" but nothing is authentic about the characters. ( )
