Review:I thoroughly enjoyed this tale of a man thrown through the grip of religion and love as he tries to 'save' the woman he recently fell in love with so they can be eternally happy in Heaven. I loved the characters, story, ironic and humorous touches, and couldn't help but feel sorrowed to see it end(yes, I wished that another tale could have been started. Very few novels have ever gotten me to want even more after it was all over, more with these characters, more of the humor and story plots t... Read more

Review:This book goes like this (according to me). Super wealthy and successful old man, kept alive by machines, is waiting for an untarnished brain so he can go on living. He already has chosen the surgeon, and he is waiting for the organ which finally comes along when his secretary is brutally murdered (aren't all murders brutal?). He wakes up with the brain of a 95 year old man in a young woman's, body.

Wait a second! Isn't 95 around about the age where dementia sets in? Oh well!

Review:This was an excellent set of science fiction short stories from the past. I came back to science fiction after a 40+ year hiatus, and the stories were as wonderful and full of enchantment as I remembered. I recommend the book for the thought provoking ideas and for the link to the present day world. The themes of the stories and the problems of the world do not change. Read more

Review:Are you kidding me? Who are these people who don't believe this is a good book? The last third may seem to let down the first two thirds, but if you knew anything about Heinlein, you'd know that the beginning is just a warmup. In order to understand "Cat" you have to have read "Time Enough for Love" and "The Number of the Beast" in that order. "Sail into the Sunset" is set at about the same time as "Cat" (not that time has much meaning to these people) and would also be helpful. If you hav... Read more

Review:Great story. I have read it 5 or 6 times. It is like an old friend. Very well written. I marked "some violence" but it is definitely story violence, and not realistic violence. (Like fighting fictional dragons as opposed to fighting people.) Read more

Review:Was as advertised and on time, Very satisfied. Would order again from this company in the future.Haven't read this book since I was a kid, was the last one I need for my collection of Heinlein books for my grandson. Read more

Review:I first read this book when I was a young teen. After many years, I pulled the book off the shelf and read it again. It is an entertaining and fun read. The twins, Castor and Pollux, their Father Roger, and Grandmother Hazel are well written, interesting characters. Meade, the sister, and Edith,their Mother, are poorly written side characters. Edith is a dedicated and hard-working doctor, but her character doesn't have much personality.

While the book stirs the imagination and is humorous... Read more

Review:Classic Heinlein Juvenile. Read it when I was a bit younger then I am now and every now and then I read it again. Gives an interesting insight into the rivalry between twins with a side story of traveling to the stars. Read more

Review:Robert Heinlein's vision of life on Mars in this book is, from a scientific standpoint, way off, but the story he tells of two young men fighting to keep that life safe for their family and friends (with help from some of the native Martians along the way) is an interesting, funny, exciting, and wholly enjoyable one. There's even a bit of a mystery along with all the atmosphere and adventure. This is the sort of Heinlein book that one can't help smiling at the thought of.

Heinlein just ha... Read more

Review:I find reading Heinlein to be an exercise similar to speaking with a child. You have to weave your way through a lot of silliness to get to the insight hidden within. This was no different. He goes a long way for a predictable joke. But a nice short read when you are waiting for a train. Read more
