The Lead In: This book is ridiculous.


The 411 on the 55: Hmmm... I can sum up today's reading with what the hell happened to this story? Today, they go to a large corporate church. Mike is hounded to join, but seems unmoved. Mike decides it is time for him to have sex, so he has sex with Jill. The book begins a new section and Mike and Jill are jumping from town to town doing a magic act. What the hell?


Line of the Day: “Oh!...Oh! Thou art God!” pg 266 (screamed by a woman during sex. Really? Wasn’t Heinlein married twice? He had to have had sex once or twice, right?)


Fact on the Fiction: “The Heinlein Society has established programs to: Place the books of Robert Heinlein in libraries everywhere, especially in school libraries where his juvenile novels may continue to help to form character and provoke critical and intelligent thinking among our young people.” HeinleinSociety
