What Members Thought

Joe
Heinlein really achieves something here- to be so boring yet so controversial. Sections of this are written quite well, but in no way does this succeed as a novel.

Will happily toss myself into ‘not the target audience’ and move on.

If I ever have kids and need a reminder to beat them, I’ll request this from the library.
