Enjoyable
Another nice story from Heinlein. Jones has one challenge after another, including how to deal with various very different people, each with their own agendas.

A Belter in the best Boys Own Annual Tradition
What made the experience of listening to Starman Jones the most enjoyable?
Whilst a bit dated in language and style this remains for me one of Heinleins' best works. Make no mistake this book is the precursor to all of the Star Wars, Lost in Space and Starship Troopers stories. It follows a young mans dream of running away from home to head into space. His story is full of exciting episodes with risk and danger, fun and trickery.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Sam the main characters mentor and cheeky rouge who knows how to make anything happen.
Which character – as performed by Paul Michael Garcia – was your favourite?
Max the young man who is the main character was read with the right amount of headstrong naivety and genuine discovery to make him as real as you or I.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes.
Any additional comments?
If you like your adventure stories then this one will hit the sweet spot.

Great Audiobook, we both love it!
Both myself and my husband really enjoyed this audiobook, its well read and a great story.
The only reason we didn't give this book 5 stars was because as much as its unabridged so it will be long we felt that sometimes the way it was narated made it feel a bit of a drag at points but it was however still very enjoyable. Also we feel this book is suitable not only for kids but others also so the bit added by Audible with "Audible Kids" mentioned was a little annoying.
As I said though, its a great book and the narator is good. We will definately listen to it again and have enjoyed it.
