About this listen
Featuring "All You Zombies", the basis for the movie Predestination
This collection from grand master Robert A. Heinlein includes five short stories sure to please science fiction fans everywhere. The title story tells the tale of a young man who meets a time-traveling bartender whose origins - and relation to the young man - are more complex and stranger than the Ouroboros ring on the barkeep's finger. In The Man Who Traveled in Elephants - one of both Heinlein and Spider Robinson's all-time favorite stories - we join a former traveling salesman on a bus. The man and his wife had once traveled with a host of imaginary animals searching for places to sell elephants.
"They" takes listeners inside a mental institution, where a man suffering from delusions has been confined. In "Our Fair City", a parking attendant named Pappy, a sentient whirlwind named Kitten, and a crusading reporter named Pete aim to take down their corrupt city government. Lastly, in "And He Built a Crooked House", a clever architect designs a house in the shape of the shadow of a tesseract, but it collapses through the fourth dimension when an earthquake shakes it into a more stable form.

Story
Robert A. Heinlein is widely and justly regarded as the greatest practitioner of the art of science fiction who has ever lived. Here are two of his greatest short novels: Gulf, in which the greatest super-spy of them all is revealed as the leader of a league of supermen and women who can’t quite decide what to do with the rest of us. And Lost Legacy, in which it is proved that we are all members of that league - or would be, if we but had eyes to see.

One of Heinlein's best-loved works, The Rolling Stones follows the rollicking adventures of the Stone family as they tour the solar system. It doesn't seem likely for twins to have the same middle name. Even so, it's clear that Castor and Pollux Stone both have "Trouble" written in that spot on their birth certificates. Of course, anyone who's met their grandmother Hazel would know they came by it honestly.

At nineteen Leah bears a remarkable resemblance to the young woman Adrienne once was. Which is why Adrienne knows the baby Leah is carrying is meant to be hers. But Leah's got ideas of her own: Her baby's going to get a life in California; why shouldn't she? All she wants is to live in Adrienne's house for a year after the baby's born and get a fresh start. It seems like a small price for Adrienne to pay to get their baby. And with Gabe suddenly onboard, what could possibly go wrong?

With its brilliant and brutal portrayal of the Corleone family, The Godfather burned its way into our national consciousness. This unforgettable saga of crime and corruption, passion and loyalty continues to stand the test of time, as the definitive novel of the Mafia underworld. A #1 New York Times bestseller in 1969, Mario Puzo's epic was turned into the incomparable film of the same name, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture. It is the original classic that has been often imitated, but never matched.

After the fall of the American Ayatollahs as foretold in Stranger in a Strange Land and chronicled in Revolt in 2100, the United States of America at last fulfills the promise inherent in its first Revolution: for the first time in human history there is a nation with Liberty and Justice for All. No one may seize or harm the person or property of another, or invade his privacy, or force him to do his bidding. Americans are fiercely proud of their re-won liberties and the blood it cost them; nothing could make them forswear those truths they hold self-evident. Nothing except the promise of immortality…

Nothing Like A Good Paradox To Spin Your Brain
This is a nice collection of five short stories by Heinlein. They are not, by any stretch, the philosophical behemoths that Heinlein is known for, but they are uniquely Heinleinian from the perspective of his cleverness and licentiousness. I think I read somewhere (probably Wikipedia) that RAH wrote 'All You Zombies' in a day, so just be prepared for an incomplete and not very deep story, yet it is still fantastic.
I think my favorite story was, 'And He Built A Crooked House,' based solely off the concept of originality; a house imploded on itself in the 4th dimension. RAH's description of a tesseract, despite his writing capability, still required me to look up a modern-day, computer-generated, models of various tesseracts because I had previously not know what one was.
The narration was great, but on "3x speed," it was unclear and jumbled together; I had to lower to "1.8x speed." This wasn't really an issue since the book is so short, but I don't understand the discrepancy between this audio book and 99% of the others I listen to at "3x."

Fun Heinlein, As Usual
5 Heinlein short stories, all entertaining, as usual. This author has such a WAY with both narrative and dialogue. Nothing is contrived or "pyshed" to be surprising or funny, and yet, it is. Heinlein's characters just POP like soap bubbles inflated with laughing gas.
Narrator was also brilliant and perfectly suited to the material.

Disappointing For Heinlein
Any additional comments?
As a big fan of most of Heinlein's work, maybe I just came into this one with expectations a little too high...
By no means were the five stories in this small collection bad, but aside from the first story, none of them really made an impression with me.
Spider Robinson did a pretty damn good job of narrating the book, especially considering that he himself is an author and not an actor. But as I alluded to previously, the content itself just wasn't that great for him to work with.
If you LOVE Heinlein, you might want to add this book to your collection, but otherwise, I would pass on this one.
6.96 / 10.00
