Red Planet by Robert A. Heinlein
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Second read.

I'm enjoying the simple adventure with a couple of boys on Mars -- with their alien friend. :)

Nothing big about it, but it's like any Boy's Adventure tales back in the 40's, but with the natural SF twist. I thought it pretty funny that they were skating on Mars.

Not my favorite Heinlein, but it was very wholesome -- which is one of the main reasons I've always liked RAH. For context, comments about women back then, interspersed in dialogue, were directly refuted by strong women being strong in action and word. I thought this was very funny.

Worth reading!
