This is the Stranger in a Strange Land I always wanted to read but never knew it. So much richer than the abridged version I read back in the day, which in itself was very good. I've only just learned that the originally published version of this book lacked about 60,000 thousand words that Mr. Heinlein originally wrote, and I couldn't be happier to have learned this fact. I immediately looked for and found the original version in all its 220,000 words. Thank you Mrs. Heinlein for publishing this richly verbose real deal.

This was the science fiction novel that also helped define the 60's generation. Considering that it was written in 1961, it should a remarkable depth. The uncut version shows what the human imagination can create in the world of fiction. This novel also has implications for social justice

The book was remommended to me buy a close friend. I loved the book, Robert Heinlein is an excellent writer. And he is sorely missed. It shows just how some one from another country might feel when coming to a new country, even tho it is based on a human being born on Mars. There was really nothing I did not like about the book. I would recomment this book to any one who is openminded about space travel, religion, sex, cults, The book is fantastic.
great read. I have read it 2 or 3 times over the past 5 decades.

I first read "Stranger in a Strange Land" almost 30 years ago. It is the second most enjoyable book that I have ever read, todate. I had an opportunity to buy an uncut version and a hard back to boot. I jumped at the chance. I have completed reading halve of the book, it brings back memories. I would highly recommend this literary masterpiece to anyone that enjoys adventure, science fiction and mystery.
