I first read this novella when I first discovered science fiction. I was retelling it to my husband when I began to realize what an impact it had on me. As a young person it taught me about life- itâs preciousness, itâs fleetness, itâs stages, itâs hope and itâs despair. It taught me about courage, about commitment, about the gift of learning and the gift of curiosity and discovery. Thatâs an awful lot to learn from just one story. I canât say why this one left me gasping in awareness, but I have never forgotten the utter joy of reading it. It was the right read at the right time and did what good literature is supposed to do. It opened my mind in a flash and expanded my world to infinite horizons.
It is a great short story, but knowing some of the story internal parameters were impossible, he told a story knowing it was not real or realistic, but to form and focus the mind of the reader onto an alternate reality.That is a huge accomplishment, and although the science falls through, the storry stands tall.Some compromises were made that hurt the story, but it clearly holds up four stars in the telling..
I’m very glad this was put out for sale on it’s own. I already own the graphic novel version and the “R is for Rocket” collection where it appeared also. I have read a lot of science fiction and lots of other genres and this is still maybe the best science fiction story ever written. If you look at it from what science fiction is all about in general, this has captured the emotions and essence of what it means to be human and the role science plays in the flow of humanity out of darkness. Enough said. I cannot read this story without tears. It IS humanity’s story. To do it in such a short story focuses the emotion like a magnifying glass and your eyes will sweat tears from the heat. (and you will shiver from the frost…?) What a master writer.
Quick little read but very interesting. It held my attention from start to finish.
Together with Albert Camus’ “The Stranger”, Ray Bradbury’s “Frost and Fire” are 2 of the most pivotal and formative readings of my high school years.This is an “against all odds” narrative with enormous educational potential for the adolescent and young adult.Compelled to identify with the successive awakenings to existential conflicts alongside Sim, the main character, the reader finishes this story with an appetite for making a difference both at personal and community levels and a sense for the irreversible treasure of the STILL available time.
