 ... the more insignificant the flower the handsomer the bees that are attracted to it, and the truth of the observation is borne out by this distinguished gathering of influential noblemen all condescending to listen to the second-rate elocution of so ill-endowed a person as the one who is now speaking.'" This flowery habit of speech is a convention maintained throughout and by all characters, although few use it as felicitously as Kai Lung himself, as is the overblown politeness.

One of the creations of one of the best sci fi authors ever! May be a tad confusing to anyone who's not read a Heinlein book before

Fantastic Fantasy Unimaginative people beware

Wonderful characters Slightly uneven pacing

Great Story, Brialliantly Written Weakest of the three

A very smooth transition from adult fiction to young adult. Realistic characters, fast paced plot. Drags a little in places, cliffhanger ending.

Well writing, engaging plot and thoroughly enjoyable piece of sci-fi Occasionally the perspective causes some brief confusion
