His books are always fun, even this strange "world as fiction" stuff he gets further and further into later in his career. They're enjoyable, download to sail beyond the sunset pdf. I reread them ad nauseam. Note: The rest of this review has been withdrawn due to the changes in Goodreads policy and enforcement.

I have no doubt that there are many people who, knowing that I reserve the 5-star rating for books that I think must be read, will start to read this book or read it entirely and conclude that I have become simply a dirty old man.
I find myself absolutely amazed that I had no idea that this book existed until 24 years after its publication, and I only happened to notice it because one of the librarians displayed it on a shelf with its cover showing, depicting a voluptuous red-headed nude with parts of her anatomy discreetly covered by her flowing red hair, standing in a very large clam shell which has nothing to do with the storyaccompanied by a cat sitting beside her a cat sitting on his tail, by the way, despite the fact that he is repeatedly download to sail beyond the sunset pdf as always having his tail pointing straight up.
Many moons ago 52 years ago, actually I attended a conference for technical writers in St. Yes, Maureen does have sex--with a teenage boy in her town, then with her cousin, then with some other boys and even a couple men, including her eventual husband, and later with friends … and eventually with her son and perhaps with a great-great-grandson or two--but the gross details of the acts, such as run rampant through all the trashy romances my eldest loves to read, are not given; it all happens between paragraphs, or even between lines.
More to the point, it all happens over the course of a few thousand years, actually, and the real point of the story is to get from one end early in the 19th century in Minnesota to the other God know when or whereinvolving time travel, multiple universes, extra-dimension cross connections, and the inevitable change of the human condition through all those years.
The other chief complaint against Heinlein seems to be that he engaged in social engineering by promoting ideas different from download to sail beyond the sunset pdf held by the majority of men. Harris shows that small-minded Christians cannot accept ways of life outside their own such as vampires, werewolves, fairies, etc.
Heinlein himself maintained that all this prolific outpouring was not social engineering at all but just writing to entertain and to sell. He had already established a practice of weaving his various different novels and stories together, and this one was simply a continuation and culmination of that same trend.
It also requires a basic background understanding by the reader of various diverse concepts that had evolved in science fiction since he and John Campbell essentially created the genre back in the days of my childhood, as this novel ties a lot of them together.
My parents would not have liked this book, and I have friends who would have no idea what it was talking about for most of its length. I was also amused to notice how many of the 1-star and 2-star reviews had misspelled words, incorrect homonyms, and totally irrelevant comments.
Mar 29, Robert J. Sullivan rated it it was ok Recommends it for: No one. In one of his books which one I've forgotten he presented an alternate society how everything would work better under it. At the end of the book, he pointed out some of the problems with the society. That was an eye-opening, mind-bending experience when I was 12 or I was a passive observer, a passenger, in my reading up to that point.
That taught me to keep my left up while I was reading. I still enjoy the ride but I don't buy it all because someone wrote it. Heinlein and I parted company download to sail beyond the sunset pdf "The Number of the Beast", a nonsense book, poorly written - I wondered if he'd sketched out the ideas for it and let someone else write it, like James Patterson does now. He never won me back after that. She wakes up in bed with a dead man and a cat, download to sail beyond the sunset pdf, with no idea of how she got there.
That's a pretty good hook for a story. So, RAH, tell me about it. The next 7 chapters are the joys of Maureen Johnson's sex life threaded around daily living in Missouri beginning in the 19th century. At pageI lost interest and started skimming and skipping, hoping to discover the plot. I failed. I can deal with that, download to sail beyond the sunset pdf, I don't read RAH for characterization. RAH has really gone to FantasyLand for this character.
Hugh Hefner and Ian Fleming, whose detractors view them as download to sail beyond the sunset pdf chauvinist pigs, were never this extreme.
Is MJ hot to trot? Every tired or busy? Second thoughts about where, when, position? Why not, we'll both do it. Group sex? Of course. It's good clean family fun. Sexual diseases? Only happens to other people. I'm not extrapolating, it's in the book. Really, RAH? Science fiction is a wonderful avenue to challenge accepted wisdom on society and mores.
This book is the extended fantasy of a 15 year old boy who isn't getting any. It should probably have been explored thoroughly with a competent therapist, not printed as a book.
The book checks RAH's standard repertoire: glorification of the military, libertarianism, liberals as the cause of the fall of civilization, evils of religion, education usually hard sciencescats, and firearms training. I used to think Heinlein was insightful. I liked his aphorisms, thinking they were the conclusions of the Wise Old Man. I recently found a statement that certainty is an emotion, not a logical conclusion. RAH has certainty by the bucketload. One and a half stars, rounded to two.
