"The biography of an immortal, time traveling red headed babe. Entertaining, but you really need to have read some other Heinlein books to get what he's doing here, as it doesn't stand on it's own very well, as he uses this book to retell some parts of other books from a different POV. Enough humor and interesting 'debates' on life, sex, politics etc to keep you from realizing not much is happening and it's taking a lot of pages for nothing to happen.
This book and 'The cat that walked through walls' were basically used to tie all his other books into one big 'Heinlein-verse'. Entertaining for fans, but rough going if this was your first Heinlein book."
"Call me provincial, call me a prude - I just could not enjoy a book with incest as one of its themes. All the rest of it was fine: I was happy to find out what transpired after The Cat Who Walks Through Walls ended, and did enjoy Mo's narrative.
I'm running about 50% on Heinlein's books. I've read a whopping total of four, and liked two of them very much. I think this story-telling style is just not my cup of tea -- too many stories at once, and having to wade through some very uncomfortable stuff in order to find out how the opening story ends."
"As a huge Heinlein fan who has read many of his books several times, it was a delight to realize that I hadn't read this one at all. When I was younger and going through his novels I had a general dislike for the World as Myth later novels and I guess skipped this one entirely.
I still dislike this aspect of the novel, but as I've become a die hard fan, it was a chance to spend some more time with characters whom I deeply love. Seeing Jubal, Lazarus and others again, and with a new story, made the experience.
Nonetheless, I wouldn't suggest to anyone who isn't either a similar die hard fan or possessed of an intent desire to explore Heinlein's attitudes about sexuality. (The book serves as autobiography for Mama Maureen, and mostly details her century and a half of sexual exploits."
