A review by enbyglitch
Tunnel in the Sky by Robert A. Heinlein

2.0

Starts off with a Battle Royale-esque survival premise, ends with a weirdly more in-depth social and political version of 'Lost'. I think Heinlein made an honest attempt at portraying a racially- and gender- equal world, but the writing doesn't quite make it there. Painful to see that when one character is revealed to be a girl, their dialogue immediately shifts to 'dears' and 'honeys' and self-deprecating quips.
