    <body><![CDATA[By the time I finished this book I had a major headache.  The POV changed *constantly* with no indication it was switching or who it was switching to.  The sex was supposed to be sensual, but it was just juvenile sex, not even soft-core porn, which I find silly.<br/><br/>The annoying parts I state...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38322783">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Disappointing. Very long, very strange. Daughter, her new husband, her father, and his new wife, all embark on time/space travels. They travel to new dimensions, many of which greatly resemble places found in famous literature, such as &quot;Oz&quot;. Many references to other famous fictional charac...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38397879">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The book itself was so-so, and frankly the solipsism made a mockery of a lot of Heinlein's finest moments in other books, though that is a reflection for afterwards. The great joy of this book was the references: he introduced me and probably many other readers to dozens of Golden Age of Science Fic...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/70237228">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Just finished reading this one, and I confess, I have no idea what the book was about.  The plot line with the two couples traveling through space was quite interesting, and I love anything with Lazarus in it, but after Laz met up with the two couples, everything quite failed to make sense.

    <body><![CDATA[500 pages of arguing over who gets to drive the car.  Others have criticized this book as being Heinlein's most self indulgent as he gets all his characters together to meet and even references his own writings, but I didn't have a problem with that part of it. <br/><br/>You could argue that this ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/12881528">more...</a>]]></body>
